The Future of AI (2nd Edition)
The Future of AI returns for its second edition at Innsomnia, Valencia.
Originally launched by Pulsr, the series is now led by WeAreBrain together with Startup Valencia, in collaboration with Innsomnia Group and base2. The mission stays the same: bring together builders, investors and business leaders who want to understand where AI is actually going, and how to act on it.
No product pitches. No recycled headlines. Just practitioners working at the frontier, sharing what they are seeing, tracking and building, at a level of depth that is strategic without being inaccessible.
The session will be moderated by Ale Wiecek Rojo, Founder of BIFTSBO.
🎤 Featured speakers

Tim Laverty (Partner SDE & Board Advisor, Microsoft AI) — In software engineering: where it has been, where it is going, and how the ripple effects are spreading across industries. Includes live demos and real data from his work at Microsoft.
