The great bifurcation in AI vs “everything else”

Is AI's trillion-dollar future built on silicon or written in code? Right now, chipmakers and data centres are capturing record revenues. But as compute scales, will application software, dev tools, and agents claim the long-term margins? Join this session as we debate where sustainable moats, and venture returns will actually settle across the AI stack.

Is the future of venture in software or hardware?

If you're attending Web Summit on your own, or with a small group, this is the perfect session to build your community at the event. Hosted by our Community Partner, Nomad Girls Club.

This session is limited to 100 people, with spots available on a first-come, first-served basis.
