Beyond Big Tech: Why AI Decision-Making Must Include Builders & Startups

​Join Fathom.org at HumanX in Las Vegas for an expert panel and interactive workshop on bridging the AI power gap—where startups, decision-makers, and investors unite to build a future that supports competition, creativity, and responsible growth.

​AI is evolving fast—but mostly in rooms where Big Tech dominates the conversation. Startups, the very companies driving AI innovation, are often left navigating a maze of requirements without a clear voice in shaping them. Are we creating an AI landscape where only the biggest players can thrive without a seat at the table? Join us as we discuss:

• ​Where should the line be drawn between AI builders’ and foundation model providers’ responsibilities?

• ​What frameworks and industry standards would empower innovation rather than hinder it?

• ​How can AI startups engage in critical policy conversations without a dedicated lobbying team?

​Moderator: Fiona Tang, Co-founder, illumyn Impact

• ​Asmau Ahmed, Former GoogleX & Moonshot Leader

• ​Ben Parr, Managing Partner, Theory Forge Ventures
