When one of tech's most-followed investors hands out a superlative, conference organisers tend to frame it. Balaji Srinivasan described SuperAI as "perhaps the best AI conference in the world" as the Singapore gathering hit full stride — and for the thousands of founders and investors packing its second day, the claim did not feel like an exaggeration.
Srinivasan's case for the best AI conference label rests on something specific, as reported byDubai.News: SuperAI's ability to "bridge East and West." Most industry events orbit a single ecosystem. SuperAI puts American AI labs, Chinese robotics and the world's open-model communities in the same halls for two days.
Why the East-West mix matters now
Artificial intelligence has become a genuinely multipolar race. Breakthroughs surface from different regions on different timelines, and anyone betting on the field's direction needs visibility into all of them at once. That is the gap SuperAI fills — attendees move between infrastructure announcements, robotics demos, open-source sessions and investor meetings without leaving the venue.
Srinivasan specifically pointed to the importance of tracking American AI, Chinese robotics and the open models emerging worldwide. Seen side by side, they sketch a fuller picture of where the technology actually stands than any single ecosystem can offer.
Sheeraz Hasan agrees — and has skin in the game
Among those amplifying the endorsement was Sheeraz Hasan, the fame strategist behind Hollywood.AI and Bollywood.AI, who has spent the week pitching entertainment's AI future across the SuperAI floor. For Hasan, the borderless framing is the whole point: entertainment already moves globally, with stories, creators and trends crossing markets at speed, and AI is accelerating that flow.
His ventures sit deliberately at the junction of the world's two biggest film cultures, so a conference built on connecting ecosystems is natural territory. Every keynote and founder meeting doubles as a scouting trip for how AI will reshape content, production and audience engagement.
Singapore's two packed days
The endorsement also says something about where the AI circuit's centre of gravity is drifting. Singapore has positioned itself as the neutral meeting point where innovators, researchers and capital from every region actually mix — few cities and fewer conferences manage that level of international participation in one place.
For the UAE's own fast-growing AI and media scene, the takeaway is practical: the conversations shaping entertainment's AI future are happening at events like this one, and the players moving early — Hasan among them — are the ones in the room.
