TechCrunch Disrupt 2026's Real World AI Stage features robots, automated factories, and extinct animals
On our new Real World AI stage, we'll be focusing on the intersection between the digital and physical, and all the ways we'll continue to see a blending of the two. This year, the technology, implications, and players are so rapidly developing and widespread that we're expanding the single AI stage into two! The AI Stage will continue as you'd expect, with a rundown of sessions and speakers available for review right here.
Key Takeaways
- On this stage, we'll be focusing on that intersection between the digital and physical, and all the ways we'll continue to see a blending of the two, as autonomous hardware goes beyond self-driving cars and enters public spaces, battlefields, our homes, and even potentially helps extinct species reenter Earth.
It's a packed lineup featuring speakers from Shield AI, Colossal Biosciences, FieldAI, Foxglove, and more still to come.
- A mistake could lead to a grounded aircraft, a vehicle crash, or a compromised mission.
In this session, leaders who are building autonomous vehicles, defense technologies, and industrial systems will talk about one of the toughest questions that every hard tech founder must face: How do you know when your system is ready to be safely deployed?
- In this fireside chat, the Colossal Biosciences CEO will discuss the technologies used to revive extinct species, the role AI plays in modern biology, and the growing debate over whether engineering nature is a conservation breakthrough or a distraction from protecting what's already here.
Operating at the Edge: How AI Works When the Cloud Doesn't With Dr.
- Expect practical lessons on architectural principles, design decisions, and trade-offs that make AI-centric systems work in the real world.
- This session brings together founders who have crossed that gap in space hardware, humanoid robotics, and autonomous systems.
