March 17, 2026 during SXSW
The LINE Hotel Austin
6:00 PM Cocktail Reception
6:30 PM Award Ceremony
The ceremony will honor the 2025 winners and celebrate their winning essays. The English-language winner, Anil Seth, challenges prevailing assumptions about machine consciousness in his essay “The Mythology of Conscious AI.” The Chinese-language winners, Xin Huang and Xiaoben Liu, offer forward-looking philosophical frameworks on language, computation, and the future of consciousness.
We would be honored to have you join us for this special occasion. The first 50 guests to arrive at the ceremony will receive a complimentary copy of the 2025 Berggruen Prize Essay book, featuring all three winning essays in both English and Chinese. Consciousness, the theme of the 2025 essay prize competition, has become a more urgent field of inquiry in the age of artificial intelligence.
