Silicon Valley Unplugged
In this special one hour program, Sparknify explores how breakthrough technology moves from possibility to global impact. Matt O’Brien, CEO of SnowCrash Labs, examines the growing challenge of AI safety and what happens when increasingly autonomous systems behave in unexpected ways. YouTube cofounder Steve Chen turns the conversation toward Taiwan, exploring whether its extraordinary strengths in engineering, semiconductors, AI, and manufacturing can help produce the next globally defining technology company. Finally, Jonathan Gortat of Stanford’s Office of Technology Licensing takes us inside the critical process of moving discoveries from research laboratories into companies, products, and real world applications. Together, these three conversations reveal different sides of the same challenge: inventing powerful technologies is only the beginning. The future will be shaped by how we control them, commercialize them, and build the ecosystems that allow them to scale.
