Meet the Audience Choice Winners of TechCrunch Sessions: AI

TechCrunch has announced the two winners of the Audience Choice awards, who will take the stage at TechCrunch Sessions: AI on June 5 at UC Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall. Yann Stoneman, staff solutions architect at Cohere, and Hua Wang, executive director at Global Innovation Forum, were chosen from hundreds of Call for Content submissions and will share their cutting-edge AI insights with 1,200 AI leaders and enthusiasts.

Yann Stoneman's session, "Behind Your Firewall: Secure Generative AI for Regulated Enterprises," will focus on deploying secure, customized AI models on-premise infrastructure, without relying on external cloud services. He will be joined by three expert panelists and will provide hands-on demos, live Q&A, and practical strategies for building AI solutions safely and confidently.

Hua Wang's session, "The AI Policy Playbook: What Global Startups Need to Know," will delve into the world of AI regulation and policy, providing insights on how founders can stay compliant and competitive while scaling globally. She will cover the policies shaping the future of AI startups and offer real-world strategies for expanding into new markets.

Both winners bring a wealth of experience and expertise to their respective sessions. Yann Stoneman has a background in supporting large-scale AI adoption at AWS and has debuted an AI demo at re:Invent 2023. Hua Wang has a diverse career spanning entrepreneurship, law, tech, and policy, and has helped startups raise over $20 million as an accelerator director.

The TechCrunch Sessions: AI event is a premier gathering of AI leaders and enthusiasts, and the addition of these two Audience Choice winners will undoubtedly provide valuable insights and perspectives to attendees.
