A quick update for New York: Anastasis Germanidis, Co-founder & Co-CEO of Runway, is joining our State of AI 2026 launch meetup on Tuesday, October 27.
We’ll talk about the path from generating video to modeling the world, what that means for embodied AI, and how vision, language, and action fit together. Where do these capabilities reinforce each other, and what is still missing?
Anastasis joins Ara Kharazian, Lead Economist at Ramp, for an evening of fireside conversations. With Ara, we’ll dig into what the data tells us about AI adoption across the economy, from model spending to how the most AI-intensive organizations use these tools.
I’ll kick things off with the most important developments from the 2026 State of AI Report across research, industry, safety, and geopolitics. We’ll end with happy hour drinks and time to meet others in the AI community.
Bring your questions, and see you Tuesday!
