The Infrastructure Behind AI-Native Labs at Boston Tech Week

This is not a conference. It’s a working session.

The conversation around AI in science is accelerating.

But most of it stays at the surface—models, outputs, possibilities. The real question is not “How do we add AI?” 

What’s missing is the harder question:

What does the lab need to become for AI to actually work?

At AIxBIO Tech Talks, we go deeper.

This is where scientists, engineers, and operators come together to examine the infrastructure behind AI-native labs, and what it takes to move from automation to autonomy.

Not theory. Not hype. Real infrastructure. Real execution.

And we do it in the right setting:
With good food, drinks flowing and conversations that don’t end when the session does.

Inside AIxBIO: The conversations defining what comes next.

Selling Science: The Commercial Reality of Intelligent Lab Automation

Where ambition meets constraint. What it actually takes to bring AI-driven systems into production—and make them viable.

Building Tomorrow’s Lab Today: The Product Bets That Matter

The architectural decisions that separate AI-ready labs from legacy systems dressed up as innovation.

The Automated Lab: Where Intelligent Automation Is Winning Right Now

A grounded look at where automation is already delivering outsized impact—and why.

What’s working. What isn’t. What scales.

See it where it’s built

This is Automata’s space.

Not a booth. Not a polished demo pod.

A working environment where  AI-native labs are designed, orchestrated, and operated.

• Walk through real systems, not concepts
• See how workflows, data, and orchestration connect end-to-end
• Explore how hybrid scheduling, simulation, and AI-ready infrastructure enable closed-loop science.
• Engage directly with the people building the infrastructure

Stay for the conversations after.
The most important ideas tend to surface off-stage.

For those building what comes next

AI-native labs will not emerge from incremental change.

They require new architectures. New assumptions. New ways of thinking about how science is executed.

From fixed workflows to adaptive systems. From isolated fragmented automation to adaptable, orchestrated labs. 

AIxBIO is for those actively building through this transition—
and those who want to be ahead of it.

Join us in Cambridge

Tech Week by a16z brings together the people shaping the future of AI.

AIxBIO is where that future meets the lab— in conversation, in practice and over a drink.

Request access. Step inside. Build what comes next.
