SXSW 2025

Most AI Startups Are Doomed

Description:

Most AI startups are doomed. This isn’t because of the recent Goldman report or other doubts about AI’s potential. It’s the nature of tech booms to have busts. The fact that it’s coming is uninteresting. What’s really interesting is what comes after. After all, Google and Amazon came out of the Dotcom bust to completely reshape our world, quietly—and then not-so-quietly. We are bringing together top AI scientists, investors, and experts to talk about what AI actually is, what startups just might survive, and more importantly, what comes after the fall.
