We look forward to seeing you on June 5 at UC Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall for TechCrunch Sessions AI! This year’s lineup is really amazing, including the winners of our Audience Choice competition. Aimed at understanding the intersection of artificial intelligence and real-world applications across a variety of industries, this event will allow you to develop your understanding. In all, it’s going to be an amazing atmosphere – vibrant and stimulating conversations and dialogue, networking and collaboration opportunities.
Cohere’s Yann Stoneman was one of the winners of the Audience Choice selection in the competition. He will be speaking about the cutting edge application of generative AI to companies obsessed with privacy. Stoneman’s expertise in this area is particularly relevant, as organizations increasingly seek to harness AI while adhering to strict privacy regulations.

She will highlight the need to move quickly, but the need to be compliant. Wang’s discussion will be sure to provide practical insights for companies charting their course through the choppy waters of innovation within a regulatory labyrinth.
