Funding the Commons Forum: San Francisco
- WHO IT IS FOR: Researchers, economists, policymakers, engineers, artists, and funders interested in the intersection of AI wealth and public goods.
- WHAT IT IS ABOUT: Redefining institutions, infrastructure, and the distribution of wealth generated by artificial intelligence.
- FORMAT: A two-day gathering featuring focused sessions, open debates, and demonstrations of open models and funding mechanisms.
As artificial intelligence amasses unprecedented fortunes, the question of how that wealth is distributed and governed has never been more critical. The Funding the Commons Forum: San Francisco brings together a diverse group of 200 visionaries and engineers to address how we can build the institutions of the AI age. This gathering aims to move beyond silos and foster lasting collaborations that keep capital and power in the hands of many.
The program is split into two specialized tracks designed to bridge the gap between theory and implementation. Attendees will engage with real-world demonstrations of open models, working prototypes, and innovative funding mechanisms. Through focused sessions and open debate, the forum explores how the gains of abundant intelligence can be harnessed to support human welfare and ensure a sustainable, equitable future.
