Web Summit has become one of the most important events in the tech conference calendar. Taking place every year in Lisbon, Portugal, it attracts start-ups, big tech and famous faces alike. This year, artificial intelligence is high on the agenda with dozens of talks, presentations and panels discussing the topic. The conference will run from Monday to Thursday next week and I’ll be hosting a panel myself, focused on the use of AI in business.
While it might feel like AI has suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the last 12 months, the technology has been around for decades and slowly improving with each new advancement. It's embedded in phones, used in businesses and present in medicine.
