The theme at this week’s GeekWire Awards was Star Wars, but we didn’t need to go to a galaxy far, far away to find the force that promises to reshape the technology industry. The potential of AI was on the minds of many finalists and attendees, and integral to the business models of many of the companies featured on stage.

This episode of the GeekWire Podcast features conversations with finalists and attendees about the economy, artificial intelligence, and more.
