Emerging AI Technologies Showcases | unDavos 2026

A LiDAR sensor that sees through mud and rain. A foundational brain model trained on half a million patients. A computer vision system that boosts farm profitability 35% using just a smartphone camera. And a nonprofit exploring how machines might one day talk to bacteria. Four founders showcase AI technologies at wildly different stages of maturity — from commercial deployment with BMW and Volkswagen to the philosophical frontier of machine consciousness.WHAT THIS PANEL COVERSHow Innoviz’s LiDAR technology enables Level 3 autonomous driving — eyes off the road — with robot taxis launching in the US and Germany by end of 2026 through partnerships with Volkswagen and BMWWhy Brainify AI’s foundational brain model, trained on 500,000 patients, could finally decode the biological underpinnings of depression and anxiety — conditions currently diagnosed by questionnaire aloneHow C-Crop’s computer vision counts and measures fruit using only a smartphone camera, delivering 20% yield increase and 35% profitability gain in agriculture, the most data-saturated yet least digitalized industryWhy the California Institute for Machine Consciousness is exploring bidirectional communication with biological substrates — from brain-computer interfaces to talking to the microbiomeWhy only 1 out of 120 AI investors does actual deep due diligence, and what that means for the quality of companies getting fundedPANELISTS• Omer Keilaf — Co-Founder & CEO, Innoviz Technologies• Mariam Khayretdinova — Co-Founder & CEO, Brainify AI• Pavel Hilman — Co-Founder, C-Crop• Joel Dietz — Acting Research Director, California Institute for Machine Consciousness• Doron Amir — SandboxAQunDavos is a community-driven summit running during WEF week in Davos, democratizing the conversation around global challenges.🌐 undavos.comTags: LiDAR, autonomous vehicles, self-driving cars, Innoviz, brain health AI, Brainify, precision psychiatry, agritech, computer vision, agriculture AI, machine consciousness, brain-computer interface, AI investment, due diligence, Level 3 autonomy, BMW, Volkswagen, unDavos, Davos 2026, WEF
