I met Max Tegmark, author of Life 3.0, at @websummit.bsky.social: 95% of people want AI as a tool, not a replacement. He warned that right now, the US has more regulations on sandwiches than on AI. Powerful call for responsibility, consensus, and keeping tech human-centered! #AI #Ethics #WebSummit

Major tech companies are portrayed as vulnerable and technically sloppy; they rely on “buildings full of lawyers” to crush challengers rather than superior engineering.

At @websummit.bsky.social Lisbon, I met Cristiano Amon, CEO of Qualcomm. "AI agents that truly understand us need to be local—deeply rooted in our language & culture." Many countries are building their own models, as the future of AI is hyper-local - opportunities for local developers. #WebSummit

One of the iconic moments of the @websummit.bsky.social today in Lisbon was the parade of flags carried by founders from more than 100 countries. Diversity is key to innovation.

#WebSummit
A group of people stand on stage at Web Summit, each person holding a different national flag. The stage background is illuminated in blue with the “web summit” logo, and a large screen displays close-up footage of participants. A man walking with a white cane carries the Portuguese flag during a flag procession as the audience sits nearby and applauds. Other flag bearers and media personnel are visible in the brightly lit arena. A scene inside a large arena with a woman and a young woman carrying national flags, followed by a procession of other flag bearers, as a packed audience watches and applauds. Many flags are visible among the crowd and the blue-lit stage is on the left. People holding various national flags, including India’s, are walking onto the Web Summit stage as camera operators film the procession. The blue “web summit” logo and numerous flags are clearly visible in the background.

Greetings from the Lisbon @websummit.bsky.social.

#WebSummit
The first image shows a large indoor arena filled with people seated in rows, with the audience waiting for an event to begin. The lighting is dim with blue and purple hues illuminating the space, and the atmosphere is lively with attendees spread throughout the venue. The second image displays the main stage at a major tech event, with the words “web summit” prominently featured on large screens. The stage is lit up in blue, surrounded by cube-shaped light installations, and the screen also displays the message “We’re starting soon.”

Large red and white text in the center reads “INCLUSIVE DESIGN INSIGHTS,” emphasizing the focus of their discussion or collaboration.

Pianist Maria João Pires reflects on music, identity, and art: ‘I sought inclusion as a pianist but always desired something different. Now, I find peace at the piano.’ Her journey reminds us that art connects us to humanity, not distinction. It’s part of life, an ecosystem of shared values. #Music

US & Germany, key donors to Ukraine, also support Russia’s war economy. In 2024, US companies paid the Kremlin $1.2 billion in profit taxes, up from $915.7 million in 2021. Revenues rose from $30.5 billion in 2023 to $38 billion in 2024, but below 2021's $50 billion. b4ukraine.org/pdf/B4Ukrain...
