Talk to the Curve
Opinions on the future of AI
We’re recording what this group expects from the future of AI, and using our discourse analysis tool to summarize it, like we did for all those AI manifestos.

3. Send “thecurve” to that number to start the chat, share your name or choose a pseudonym (or “anonymous”), and send voice messages with your insightful takes.
Share as many thoughts as you want over the course of the conference — in a spare moment or in discussions. (It’s less awkward if they’re doing it too.) After the conference we’ll create a Talk to the City report with the results.
Privacy note: we’ll delete all phone numbers associated with comments after the conference, but if you’d rather leave a 100% untraceable take, we’ll have a dedicated device in the Vegas room on Sunday you can use instead.
