Marvelous, the AI-driven experiential B2B marketing platform, officially launched its fresh event series, AI Insiders, with a groundbreaking event at AWS GenAI Loft in San Francisco. Designed to bring together the brightest minds in artificial intelligence, the invite-only event welcomed 150 curated guests, including AI founders, tier-one investors, enterprise executives, and researchers for an evening of high-impact conversations and collaborative exploration. "We're living through an AI Renaissance, one where trust, creativity, and technology must evolve together," said Merve Isler, Founder & CEO of Marvelous. "AI Insiders isn't just an event, it's a movement. A curated space where builders and thinkers come together to shape the future, not with hype, but with heart. Because at the core of every breakthrough, there's a relationship built on trust."
The event was co-hosted by Bhavya Gupta, Information Security Officer at Stanford University, who emphasized the importance of shared responsibility in shaping ethical and secure AI ecosystems:
"By building an AI ecosystem that values ethics, security, and collaboration, we can ensure that the extraordinary potential of AI is realized for the benefit of all. We need cross-industry partnerships, collaborations between academia and industry, and public-private initiatives."

The evening featured a powerful fireside chat titled "What's Next in AI?" with Ronjon Nag (Stanford Professor, Investor and Founder of R42), David Hefter (Director at BlackRock), and Josh Constine (Venture Partner at SignalFire and former Editor-at-Large at TechCrunch). Moderated by Constine, the panel explored second-order impacts of AI, agentic systems, and real-world readiness.
"We're watching AI unlock new consumer, builder, and business behaviors. The real breakthroughs will come from the people who combine trust, intuition, and technology, not just those who chase the trend." added Josh Constine from SignalFire.
"AI is transforming every industry, but the real moonshot uses it to decode aging and disease." Ronjon Nag from Stanford University, R42.
The event also delivered a memorable moment through an AI-powered piano performance by co-host AyseDeniz Gokcin, a globally acclaimed pianist and composer who blends classical music with machine learning. Her live piece merged emotional depth, narrative structure, and real-time AI interaction, offering a visceral experience of what happens when creativity meets computation.
