David Lefer

AI is most useful when people ask the right questions. And the key to asking great questions depends on having curiosity, or as researchers call it, a high Need for Cognition (NFC).

As AI shifts from passive tools to autonomous "agents" capable of real-time decision-making, the traditional cybersecurity models are changing.

This talk explores building a similar IP Economy — one based on ownership and compensation, not extraction — while there’s still time to shape it.

This session explores how storytelling can function as more than narrative—serving instead as a foundation for designing and deploying technology that addresses real social challenges. It examines how film, media, and immersive experiences can act as catalysts for innovation, translating cultural insight into practical systems that improve equity, access, and community outcomes.

Jesse Tayler

AI made forgery cheap and perfect. This talk shows the shift from authority-driven identity to community-driven identity trust: We show how anchoring digital properties, and separating out the identity portion of an account replaces disputes, reviews and guesswork—so platforms push responsibility back to the rightful owner and members enjoy benefits...
