AJ Abdallat
AJ Abdallat is the founder, chairman and CEO of BeyondAI (formerly Beyond Limits), a Glendale, California enterprise AI company that commercializes cognitive artificial intelligence born inside NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech. A serial entrepreneur who spent more than a decade incubating Caltech/JPL spinouts, Abdallat built Beyond Limits around the idea that AI which guided the Mars Rovers and Voyager probes through deep space can run mission-critical industrial operations on Earth - in energy, utilities, manufacturing and healthcare - while explaining the reasoning behind every decision.
Jon Stokes
Jon Stokes is a 25-year veteran of online media who co-founded Ars Technica in 1998 with Ken Fisher, helping build it into the internet's premier tech publication before selling it to Condé Nast for $25 million. An engineer turned journalist turned product builder, he holds a B.S. in Computer Engineering from LSU alongside two master's degrees from Harvard Divinity School in early Christian history - a combination that explains his unusual range: equally comfortable dissecting CPU microarchitecture, AI policy, Second Amendment law, and New Testament scholarship. Today he's co-founder and CPO of Symbolic AI, runs a Substack newsletter on AI and crypto with 13,000+ subscribers, and serves as a fellow at Open Source Defense.
