What happened.

AI is not black or white. That was the premise Pioneering Minds AI built the day around, together with CASTUSA Greater New York and Fordham Gabelli School of Business. 229 builders showed up to confront harmful AI patterns and prototype the alternatives.

Four tracks framed the choice. Attention put engagement loops against focus tools. Truth put misinformation against verification. Access put algorithmic bias against democratization. The open track took everything in between. Design, prototype, and pitch in a single day.

Prelint in the room.

Every participant built with free Prelint access. Point it at your spec and every pull request gets reviewed against it, so what you pitch is what you built. On a one day clock that gap is the whole game.
