Web Summit, one of Europe’s premier tech events, kicked off in Lisbon with a star-studded lineup including pop icon Pharrell Williams. The event promises a vibrant mix of startups, investors, and visitors engaging in discussions and debates until Thursday.
The opening day featured speeches from Portuguese leaders, entrepreneurs, and a focus on artificial intelligence as the central theme. Renowned AI critic Max Tegmark warned about the dangers of unregulated artificial general intelligence.
In an inspiring talk to conclude the evening, Grammy-winning artist Pharrell Williams shared his perspective on success. He emphasized that true fulfillment comes from pursuing what you love rather than chasing money.
The event aims to move past previous controversies and focus on innovation and collaboration among industry leaders. Web Summit CEO Paddy Cosgrave expressed his excitement for this year’s edition without addressing past issues directly.
