Gaurang Patel on the AI Conference — the O'Reilly fireside was 'the session that tied it together for me'

Patel attended The AI Conference 2026 at Pier 48 in San Francisco. His post on LinkedIn worked through the 134-session agenda for six themes, among them the multi-model era and governance as an engineering discipline, and picked the Eric Ries and Tim O'Reilly session as the one that connected them.

“The session that tied it together for me: Eric Ries and Tim O'Reilly on Building AI Companies That Matter. The question isnt just what AI can build — its what kind of companies and institutions we build with it.” — Gaurang Patel on LinkedIn
