• I talked to founders at a Tech Week event in New York and most of them were working in AI.
• Despite their excitement about AI, they all said there's a key skill the bots don't have.
• I was surprised by how I felt after all of the AI talk: connected to other human beings.

It's officially Tech Week in New York, when the city cosplays as San Francisco and networking happy hours take over seemingly every bar.
