AboutIn the host's words.

What becomes scarce when intelligence is abundant?

Join Mustafa Suleyman (CEO, Microsoft AI), Sarah Guo (founder, Conviction; co-host of No Priors) and Aaron Bastani (cofounder, Novara Media; author of Fully Automated Luxury Communism) for a conversation moderated by Stephen Morris, San Francisco Bureau Chief for The Financial Times.

The evening launches the second issue of The Humanist Review of AI, a quarterly journal on how AI is changing society, funded by Microsoft AI. Every in-person guest receives a print copy.

Aaron Bastani is a British writer, broadcaster and political commentator. He is the cofounder of Novara Media and the author of Fully Automated Luxury Communism, which explores how technological abundance might support a more prosperous and equitable society.

Sarah Guo is the founder at Conviction, an AI-native venture capital firm established in 2022. Previously, she was a general partner at Greylock. She and her partners have been early investors in the most important companies of tomorrow, including Baseten, Clay, Cognition, Figma, Harvey, HeyGen, Listen Labs, Mistral, Rippling, Sierra and Thinking Machines. Sarah is from Wisconsin, has four degrees from University of Pennsylvania, and lives in the Bay Area with her husband and four kids. She co-hosts the popular AI podcast "No Priors" with Elad Gil.

Mustafa Suleyman is the CEO of Microsoft AI. Before leading Microsoft AI, he was CEO and co-founder of Inflection AI, and before that, he co-founded DeepMind, where he led applied research and commercialization efforts.

He is on the board of The Economist and is a senior fellow at The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School.

All in-person attendees will receive a complimentary copy of The Humanist Review of AI, a quarterly publication funded by Microsoft AI.
