Join us on Wednesday, May 1 at 11:00 AM at Midpen Media Center in Palo Alto for an unforgettable look into the future of AI and storytelling. We’re kicking off the countdown to the Sparknify Human vs. AI Tech Fair & Film Festival — and you’re invited to witness something truly next-level at this open to the public press event.
🎤 Watch AI Take the Stage
For the first time, we are introducing our ultra realistic AI Spokespersons, who will deliver our press conference announcements — a hyper-realistic digital beings generated entirely by AI. Our AI presenter looks and speaks like real people, with expressions, tone, and presence that will make you question what’s real. It’s not just a press conference — it’s a glimpse into the future of media.
This special kickoff to the Sparknify Human vs. AI Tech Fair & Film Festival will unveil:
🎬 A star-studded panel of judges, including leading professors in film from top universities, directors, actors, and animation pioneers.
🤝 Our official sponsors and vendors supporting this groundbreaking event.
🏆 And most importantly: the Sparknify Humanity Award, the highest honor of the festival.
In an era where AI is learning to tell stories, this award honors the film — whether made by humans or generated by AI — that best captures the essence of what it means to be human. As technology transforms the way we create, the Sparknify Humanity Award challenges us to reflect:
What can only humans express?
Can AI truly evoke human emotion and insight?
We celebrate both traditional filmmakers crafting soulful, human-centered narratives, and visionary AI creators pushing past the Turing Test to explore universal truths. This award inspires all storytellers — human and machine — to explore and protect what’s uniquely human in an age of intelligent creation.
