When it comes to technological advancement and global impact, few events parallel Web Summit. Lauded as “the world’s premier tech conference” by Politico, Web Summit gathers the brightest minds and the most innovative companies to discuss the future of technology. Grit Daily ranks it among CES, SXSW, Sundance, Coachella, Ultra, and Davos’ World Economic Forum for those who want to “see and be seen.”
The content, too, is tops, and Grit Daily is now in its sixth year as part of it. Amidst the sea of genius and innovation, one panel stands out as the must-see event at Web Summit Lisbon: “Setting expectations: How will AI impact your industry?”
Why This Panel is the Must-See Event
The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) makes it a subject of paramount importance. From automating mundane tasks to catalyzing scientific research, AI is not just a trending topic but a transformative force touching every industry. The excitement is palpable, but so are the concerns and questions about AI’s varied roles.
The importance and concerns are precisely why the panel’s focus on setting expectations and clarifying AI’s impact is crucial. With panelists who are stalwarts in their respective fields, the conversation promises to be enlightening, groundbreaking, and focused on actionable insights. Grit Daily founder Jordan French is set to moderate it.
