​The AI startups actually winning aren’t the ones with the flashiest tech… they are the ones that deeply understand who they’re building for and the pain points their users experience. In this talk, Beth Garrison argues that the true competitive advantage in AI isn’t what happens under the hood; it’s understanding the lived experience of users. We’ll explore how to uncover real user needs before writing a line of code, why a compelling AI demo may not translate into a successful product, and what it takes to design AI features that people trust, adopt, and keep using.
