Looking beyond screens

We use screens for almost everything these days, providing incredible convenience — and distraction. What if you could utilize the power of compute without all the manual operation that requires so much attention? At Humane, we think there's a better way to coexist with computers, which is why we’re dedicated to creating technology that gives more than it takes, helping you stay present in the real world. Join Imran and George for an in-depth look at the design process behind Ai Pin and Cosmos, the Ai operating system that powers our experiences, and learn more about their vision for the future of software in the intelligence age.

The design renaissance

This session will talk about moving from awareness to covering the bridge of technology, emotions, and what AI can’t do. Reginé will dive into understanding emotion, emotional design, understanding humor, common sense, ethical considerations, and original thought.
