Multiple-prong approach will help all organizations globally to gain access to AI
As AI propels the world into a more sophisticated technology-driven future, it is clear that AI is here to stay and we are only beginning to see and understand its full impact. Given this, HumanX, a recently established forum with funding support from venture capital firms, announced it will host an inaugural AI Conference in Las Vegas on March 10-13, 2025.
Founded by seasoned veterans of tech and conference management Stefan Weitz and Jonathan Weiner, HumanX’s mission is to democratize AI by making it accessible to all organizations worldwide. In addition to its AI-focused community, its inaugural conference will draw together C-suite leaders, industry decision-makers, policymakers, founders, and AI practitioners.
Weitz’s and Weiner’s business idea combined with their impressive backgrounds gained the support of highly notable venture capital firms: Primary Venture Partners, with participation from Foundation Capital, FPV Ventures, and Andreessen Horowitz.
Weitz spent 18 years at Microsoft, led billion-user technologies, including Bing.com, and pioneered strategic initiatives in online platforms and cybersecurity. Weiner founded Money20/20, HLTH, ViVE and Shoptalk, bringing extensive experience in both technology and conference management. He held leadership roles at Google Wallet and Payments, making multiple company acquisitions and investments in over 100 startups.
“I’m confident HumanX will become the preeminent event in AI, delivering the highest ROI for innovative companies aiming to shape industries, investors looking for the most impactful founders, startups seeking funding from the most knowledgeable value-add investors in AI, media looking to break meaningful stories in the field, and much more,” said Weiner. “We could not be more excited to partner with the ecosystem to create the most important platform for companies and individuals to leverage.”
Diverse industries will be represented at the Conference and a dynamic slate of 50 plus confirmed speakers will be announced at the end of April.
In addition to the Conference, HumanX is undertaking two additional initiatives to make AI useful to organizations across the globe. First, they will offer a data-driven advisory service, in partnership with HarrisX, the leading data-analytics and market-research platform. From this a comprehensive industry report will tentatively be released this summer to help frame the key questions facing each industry.
HumanX will then also launch a nonprofit entity in the fall dedicated to advocating for responsible AI regulation and policies.
Reid Hoffman, Founder of LinkedIn and Co-Founder of Inflection.ai, ethusistically supports HumanX’s global endeavor, stating,“In an era where AI’s influence touches every facet of our lives, our work, and even society at large, understanding its implications and harnessing its potential responsibly and effectively is paramount. I’m excited for HumanX: a gathering that will offer much-needed thought leadership to navigate these complex waters, shaping a future where technology amplifies human capability and innovation.”
