TechCrunch Disrupt Documentary Screening + Free Talk (Spark Social SF)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

​Join us for an intimate screening of our documentary short (8-12 minute) featuring AI researchers, cognitive scientists, and innovative builders who are reimagining how we develop artificial intelligence as an official side event during TechCrunch Disrupt.

​This isn’t your typical tech panel—it’s a glimpse into a movement of interdisciplinary thinkers challenging the dominant Silicon Valley narrative. We’ll have a short panel afterwards, featuring some of the folks captured in the film:

• ​Danielle Perszyk, cognitive scientist for Amazon’s AGI lab, who will moderate the panel

• ​Daniel Bashir, safety researcher for OpenAI

• ​Erika Anderson, founder of Building Humane Tech

• More to come!

​Our film captures candid conversations with frontier lab researchers, academics, and technologists exploring what happens when we prioritize humanity in AI development. Witness how diverse voices are shaping a more thoughtful approach to our technological future.

​After the screening, engage with those featured in the film through an informal panel. Then join facilitated discussions to connect with like-minded builders to see how you can contribute to ongoing projects in humane technology. Whether you’re an engineer questioning your company’s direction, a researcher with fresh frameworks, or simply someone who believes technology should serve humanity—this is your community.
