Community voting for SXSW 2027 is now open, and we're asking for your support.

The technologies shaping our future aren't waiting. Artificial intelligence is redefining how we work and discover. Scientific advancements are changing what’s possible for the future of human health. The question isn't whether these transformations are coming—it's how we choose to guide them.

That's why XPRIZE has proposed two sessions for SXSW 2027 focused on conversations that matter now.

Building an AI Future Where Humanity Thrives

AI has the potential to help solve humanity's greatest challenges—but only if we develop and deploy it intentionally.

Join XPRIZE CEO Anousheh Ansari and EVP of Deep Tech & Exploration Michael Nayak as they explore how we can harness AI to amplify human potential, accelerate breakthrough innovation, and build a future where technology serves humanity.

Longer, healthier lives have been a scientific aspiration for decades. Today, they're becoming a scientific reality.
