SeedAI returned to SXSW in 2025 with our most ambitious and impactful programming yet. Across a packed day at SeedAI House, we welcomed over 1,600 guests and hosted more than two dozen keynotes, panels, and fireside chats exploring the frontiers of artificial intelligence. We were proud to convene a diverse community of policymakers, technologists, philanthropists, artists, intellectuals and entrepreneurs to exchange ideas, demonstrate cutting-edge tools, and shape the future of AI policy and innovation.

If you weren’t able to join us in Austin, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Check out our 90-second wrap-up video that captures the spirit of the day, and explore our full playlist of panels and conversations. You’ll hear from legislators, researchers, startup founders, and leaders from major tech companies, all tackling the biggest questions around AI today.

Our sincere thanks go to our sponsors: Meta, Qualcomm, Accenture, Anthropic, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Zillow, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Venable LLP, Salesforce, Uber, and NobleReach Foundation, whose support made this event possible. Together, we put together a truly one-of-a-kind event, underscored by seven live demos and art exhibits, and closed the day with a classic SXSW-style party where artists created music and visuals with AI in real time.

We were honored to host prominent policymakers including Senator Mike Rounds, Representative Zach Nunn, Representative Ted Lieu, and Representative Marc Veasey. Their presence underscored the importance of cross-sector dialogue on AI development.“The organizers did a great job bringing people involved in AI development around the world—literally—to come in and talk about artificial intelligence,” said Senator Rounds.“Lots of people with good ideas, a really exciting venue, and a lot of good people.” Congressman Lieu added, “I really encourage you to continue to do this each and every year.”

Congressman Nunn noted, “It's very exciting to interact with so many different people with different perspectives on AI.”As we move into our next chapter, from Accelerate Science Now to Hill briefings and AI primers nationwide, we hope you’ll stay involved.
