SXSW Pitch is the marquee event of South by Southwest^® (SXSW^®) Conference & Festivals to be held from March 11 to 20, 2022, where leading startups from around the world showcase some of the most impressive technology innovations to a panel of hand-picked judges and a live audience. Out of the 655 companies that applied to present at SXSW Pitch 2022, Hummingbirds AI was selected among the 50 finalists spanning 10 separate categories.

The category where Hummingbirds AI will be competing is the door to technologies related to machine-simulated intelligence, consciousness, empathy, or speech. These technologies may also cover Internet of Things and smart devices, or a machine’s ability to perform, anticipate, and streamline tasks without human assistance.

Hummingbirds AI´s authentication platform, GuacamoleID, stood out as a candidate for the Pitching Forum because it is the first CVIV, continuous video-based verification platform using facial biomarkers to make sure there is always the right person behind any device. It is a cloud-independent app that grants access only to authorized users and blocks any device that detects anyone not authorized getting in the camera field of view, protecting from usual visual hacking threats such as shoulder surfing or prying eyes.

The two-day event will be held the first weekend of SXSW Conference & Festivals, Saturday, March 12 and Sunday, March 13, on the fourth floor of the Downtown Hilton Austin, Salon D/E. The event will then culminate with the 2022 SXSW Pitch Awards Ceremony on Sunday evening, March 13, where winning startups from each category and a Best in Show winner will be announced and honored.

Hummingbirds AI will present among four other companies in the Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Voice category on March 13th.

SXSW Pitch will feature finalists across the following 9 categories: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics & Voice, Enterprise & Smart Data, Entertainment, Gaming & Content, Extended Reality & Immersive Technology, Future of Work, Health, Wearables & Wellbeing, Innovative World Technologies, Smart Cities, Transportation & Logistics, and Social & Culture.
