01
Product Design · AI-Native Building · Human Judgment

Aneil RazviDesign Leader & AI-Native Builder · Cubby Playlist

He is not discussing AI from the sidelines. He is using it to build — and learning exactly where speed ends and human judgment begins.

Aneil is a Dallas–Fort Worth design and creative leader with 15+ years in product design. His recent work includes building software with AI as a solo operator, where he has documented both the leverage and the failure modes: confident wrong answers, verification gaps and the need for human judgment. His perspective brings the conversation directly into how AI changes product teams, design work and what it means to build responsibly.

What makes his perspective differentHe combines long-term design leadership with hands-on AI-native product building — testing where AI genuinely replaces work and where it makes human judgment more important.
Question worth bringing into the roomIf AI can help one person do the work of a team, what becomes more valuable: execution speed, taste, verification, judgment — or knowing what should be built at all?
02
Data · Governance · Accountability

Iffat TariqCo-Founder & CDO · Innovriq

AI is only as trustworthy as the data, standards and accountability underneath it.

Iffat brings more than two decades of leadership experience across data, strategy and transformation. Her perspective pushes past the visible AI interface into the systems underneath it: data quality, governance, standards and responsibility. When an AI-driven process gets the data wrong, who notices — and who is accountable?

What makes her perspective differentShe forces the conversation upstream: before trusting an AI answer, ask who governed the data and whether the organization can see what went wrong.
Question worth bringing into the roomIf AI starts making more operational decisions, does governance become a compliance function — or a core competitive advantage?
03
Design · Construction · Adaptation

Ernesto MirandaFounder Principal · Blue Frog Design Group

He has already watched one technology shift redraw his profession. Now he is watching AI do it again.

Ernesto brings 15+ years in design and construction leadership. He remembers the transition into computer-aided design and what happened to professionals who did — and did not — adapt. Today, he is seeing AI compress work that once took weeks. That gives him a practical lens on a harder question: which parts of professional work are valuable, and which have simply been accepted as the cost of doing business?

What makes his perspective differentHe can compare the AI transition with an earlier technological disruption from inside a profession built on specialized expertise.
Question worth bringing into the roomIf AI removes the paperwork, research and documentation we used to bill time for, what is the client actually paying the expert for?

The value is in the collision.

An AI-native product builder, a data leader and a design-and-construction principal do not see AI from the same seat. That is the point. Future of AI Dallas is built around the disagreement, overlap and questions that appear when different industries examine the same shift together.
What expertise stops being scarce?
Which “best practices” are just old constraints?
Who is accountable when AI is wrong?
What becomes more valuable when intelligence gets cheaper?

Don’t just meet them.
Challenge them.

The speakers open the conversation. The room takes it somewhere none of us can predict. Bring your industry, your experience and the assumption you think AI is about to break.
