Send us a textWhat if most of the economy can be automated without anything we'd call real general intelligence? That provocative idea launches a candid tour with Ben Goertzel through the difference between LLM “breadth” and the kind of generalization that marks true AGI. We unpack why today's models are powerful yet limited, how they'll reshape work in the near term, and what ingredients are missing for systems that reason, invent, and move beyond the data that formed them.We dig into a practical path forward: blending deep neural networks with logic engines, evolutionary learning, and a massive knowledge graph so each part amplifies the others. Ben shares how the Hyperon framework and the ASI chain bring AI on-chain, not just coordinated by it. That means a new AGI language, MeTTa, serving as a smart contract language, enabling formal verification, rich composability, and an integrated reputation layer. Together, these tools aim to embed trust into the stack while opening the door to decentralized AI networks that resist capture by any single company or state.Culture, narrative, and emotion matter just as much as code. A robot-led band nearly got booed off stage until the performance was reframed as exploration, not replacement—proof that context shapes how people accept new tools. We follow that thread into creativity, where AI can mix stems, spark ideas, and widen access for musicians, even as some roles compress. The larger question becomes not whether AI can do the job, but what humans will choose to do for meaning, connection, and joy. Along the way, we weigh openness versus control through a proactionary lens and point you to resources to explore decentralized, trustworthy AI.If this conversation challenged your assumptions or sparked new ones, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find it. Your thoughts shape where we go next—what part of decentralized AGI are you most curious about?This episode was recorded at Web Summit in Lisbon on November 13, 2025.

AI's Just “Good Enough” and That Ain't Good: A Web Summit Debrief, Live from Lisbon!

In this special live Web Summit edition from Lisbon, I sit down with Tom Haworth, founder of D13 AI, to talk about why “good enough” AI might actually be one of the most dangerous places we can get stuck.And you'll hear Tom say it's time for the leaders of vibe coding platforms (e.g. Lovable, Replit, Cursor) to acknowledge that they're great when you need to “demo not memo”, but not great (today and maybe ever) at delivering production-grade, secure code. We also make a few detours as we detail a ridiculous week in Lisbon, including:How (shocker!) 90% of the conference was about AIWhy “good enough” AI is not a good place to beWhether we'll graduate to great AIAI's ROI now and in the futureWhy it's still iffy whether AI agents they can be trusted to accomplish complex jobsRobots wander Web Summit, do the Macarena, fall downHow tennis great Maria Sharapova uses (IBM's) AI How the presumptuous Web Summit's app prominently suggests we all message Maria… (as if!) Visa wants to help creators monetize (yay! it me!), using Web3 technologies (yes, they said “Web3”; no, I was not expecting to hear a non-ironic use of that phrase)Why self-driving cars are the best robots — and coming soon to more of EuropeHow much Web Summit pampers (and corrupts) the media: I was like a stuffed goose.

Le patron de Nvidia, géant américain des puces électroniques, prévient : la Chine pourrait bien remporter la course mondiale à l'intelligence artificielle. Avec une stratégie d'État, des investissements massifs et une capacité d'adaptation impressionnante, Pékin avance vite — pendant que l'Europe cherche encore sa place. En 2017, Pékin a publié une feuille de route très claire : devenir la première puissance mondiale de l'intelligence artificielle d'ici à 2030. Depuis, les investissements se chiffrent en dizaines de milliards de dollars. Selon plusieurs estimations, près de 100 milliards ont été consacrés à l'IA pour la seule année 2025. L'État chinois mobilise tout son écosystème : universités, laboratoires publics, géants du numérique comme Alibaba, Tencent ou Huawei. Et même sur le plan énergétique, Pékin met la main à la pâte. Au début du mois, les autorités ont divisé par deux les factures d'électricité des centres de données utilisant des puces chinoises. Un coup de pouce décisif pour encourager l'adoption nationale. Autre atout, le marché intérieur. Avec plus d'un milliard d'internautes, la Chine dispose d'un réservoir inépuisable de données — le carburant essentiel de l'intelligence artificielle. Chaque nouveau produit d'IA peut être testé à grande échelle, sur des millions d'utilisateurs, en quelques semaines seulement. Et le paradoxe est là. Les sanctions américaines censées freiner Pékin ont en réalité accéléré son autonomie technologique. Privés des puces Nvidia les plus avancées, les ingénieurs chinois ont appris à « faire mieux avec moins » — une IA plus ingénieuse, plus économe et souvent plus efficace. À lire aussiL'intelligence artificielle, une bulle qui gonfle artificiellement la croissance américaine? Une victoire symbolique sur le terrain : l'IA chinoise performe dans le trading Cette puissance ne reste pas théorique. Il y a quelques semaines, une compétition internationale de trading automatisé a opposé plusieurs modèles d'intelligence artificielle du monde entier. Chaque modèle devait investir un capital initial, faire tourner ses algorithmes sur un marché en temps réel et générer du profit. C'est un robot chinois qui a remporté la compétition haut la main. Une victoire symbolique, mais hautement significative. La Chine ne se contente plus de s'inspirer ou de copier les grands modèles américains. Elle les dépasse désormais dans leur mise en application concrète. C'est le signe d'une maturité technologique qui ne cesse de surprendre les observateurs occidentaux. L'Europe cherche sa voie entre régulation et innovation Et pendant que les États-Unis et la Chine s'affrontent, l'Europe peine à suivre le rythme. Alors que se déroule en ce moment le Web Summit de Lisbonne, la commissaire européenne au numérique, Henna Virkkunen, le reconnaît : « Les 27 sont encore trop dépendants des géants américains et chinois ». Pour l'instant, l'Union européenne mise davantage sur la régulation que sur l'investissement. Le AI Act encadre les usages de l'intelligence artificielle, mais aucun grand acteur industriel européen n'émerge encore face à Nvidia, OpenAI ou Alibaba. L'Europe n'est donc pas un concurrent dangereux à court terme. Mais la course est loin d'être terminée. Comme le souligne Jensen Huang, le patron de Nvidia, la Chine a peut-être remporté une bataille, mais pas encore la guerre de l'intelligence artificielle.

Glitch has raised €2 million in seed funding to make digital advertising faster and easier for lean marketing teams and boutique agencies. The round was led by Elkstone, with participation from Gaingels, HBAN, and several European angel investors backing the company's next stage of growth. Founded by Aisling Browne and Kingsley Kelly, Glitch is an AI-powered ad platform that helps B2B marketers launch high-performing campaigns in minutes. It automates campaign setup, targeting, budget allocation, and daily optimisation, while delivering detailed reports showing which audiences, copy, and keywords drive results. These insights power smarter campaigns and give marketing a strategic voice across the business. The company was built around one insight: lean teams don't lack strategy, they lack time. By automating repetitive, data-heavy tasks, Glitch gives B2B marketers the same performance edge as larger organisations with in-house specialists. Early customers report a 5x increase in conversion rates, a 9% lift in click-through rates, and a 30% reduction in cost per acquisition compared to previous setups. "Digital advertising shouldn't feel like decoding a foreign language," said Aisling Browne, CEO and Co-Founder of Glitch."We built Glitch to give lean teams the power, insights, and confidence to run high-performing campaigns - saving hours ofmanual work and removing the guesswork." Browne and Kelly met through Founders, the Dogpatch Labs talent accelerator, where they teamed up around a shared goal to simplify and modernise B2B advertising. Since then, Glitch has grown into a platform used by companies including Protex AI, Web Summit, We Are Riley, Mango Media, and Squid Loyalty. "In a crowded digital marketing landscape, Glitch stands out because it delivers measurable results for its clients," said Niall McEvoy, Managing Director - Venture at Elkstone. "The team has built a platform that truly empowers B2B marketers and boutique agencies - simplifying campaign management while driving performance." The impact of Glitch's platform is evident in customer collaborations. "Over the past four months, our partnership with Glitch Ads has significantly improved campaign efficiency and overall ad performance," said Dan Hobbs, CEO and Co-Founder at Protex AI. "Their data-driven optimisation, transparent communication, and automation tools have delivered measurable gains while allowing our team to focus on higher-value strategic initiatives." "Glitch handled the heavy lifting for our Search Ads. It's like having an extra performance marketer for our team" said Barry McCullagh, Senior Vice President at Web Summit. The new funding will be used to support Glitch's international expansion, grow its commercial teams, and launch new features - including multi-platform integrations with Meta Ads and LinkedIn. The company will also roll out CRM integrations designed to enhance cross-platform reporting and provide clearer visibility into campaign performance and attribution. See more stories here.

Kat speaks with serial entrepreneur, public speaker, mentor and podcaster Stephanie Melodia. In this candid discussion, they discuss the mounting pressures business owners face, especially those in the UK, and how to tackle them. Including when to commit, when to pivot, and when to gracefully quit rather than simply delaying the inevitable. Stephanie shares the critical decision-making strategies used by top founders to eliminate anxiety and indecisiveness, iterate and stay ahead of the curve. Alongside the other positive habits that are behind most people´s success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Resilience and adaptability are essential qualities for entrepreneurs. They don´t just keep you going through tough times, they also help you to know when to persevere and when it's time to embrace change. The decision to pivot, scale back, or even close a business is not a failure; it can be a strategic and courageous act that opens the door to new opportunities and personal growth. Positive habits, e.g. Daily movement, prioritising sleep, and practicing gratitude are the foundation for building and maintaining energy, clarity, and well-being. These positive habits empower you to meet your toughest challenges. Stop viewing saying no as a negative thing to do. Remember, when you say no, you are creating space to say yes to one of any number of other opportunities. Learn to make decisions quickly and move on. Dithering about all of those small things just zaps your energy. Trust yourself. BEST MOMENTS "I am allergic to inertia. I need movement. I need speed. I need scale. I need to feel like things are moving." "We keep emphasising the importance of pivots, of iterating." "You need the resilience, and you need to keep going, but you need to know the difference between, are you flogging a dead horse, or is there something here?" ABOUT THE GUEST Stephanie is a former marketing consultancy CEO turned founder coach, growth strategist, MBA advisor, and host of the UK's Top 20 Business Show. She is ranked as one of the UK's Most Influential Female Founders. With expertise in entrepreneurship and a passion for feminism, Stephanie now hosts the UK Top 20 Business Show; advises MBA students in Entrepreneurship, and; continues to serve as VC scout for an early-stage venture capital firm. Trusted by global brands like Soho House, WeTransfer, Harvey Nash Group, and international conferences like Web Summit, TechBBQ, and Women in Tech, Stephanie brings a special kind of energy to her bold keynotes and dynamic workshops. https://www.instagram.com/stephmelodia/ Stephanie's podcast with Kat ABOUT THE HOST Kat started her career as a teacher, before moving into Tech where she worked in different executive roles within teaching and consulting, working across the globe, both in the public and private sector. Despite appearing 'successful' on the outside, she paid a heavy ‘life' price. In 2016, her whole world collapsed. The reason? The compound effect of years of unhealthy and toxic habits that destroyed her health, relationship and career. She suffered a severe breakdown and lost everything. In the middle of this she got headhunted for her first CEO role. She rebuilt herself by changing just one small habit and built a series of positive habits which has transformed her professional and personal performance, resulting in becoming the healthiest and happiest version of herself. She is a positive habits international keynote speaker and teacher, giving talks and delivering high impact programmes to organisations across the globe.

Welcome back to another episode of Upside at the EUVC Podcast, where Dan Bowyer, Mads Jensen of SuperSeed, Andrew J Scott of 7percent Ventures, and Lomax unpack the forces shaping European venture capital.This week, veteran journalist Mike Butcher (ex-TechCrunch Europe, The Europas, TechFugees) joins the pod. From the creator economy eating media brands, to Europe's fragmented ecosystem and the capital gap that just won't die, we dive into EU-Inc, Draghi's unfulfilled reforms, ASML's surprise bet on Mistral, Europe's defense awakening, Klarna's IPO, and quantum's hot streak.Here's what's covered:00:01 – Mike's ResetTechCrunch Europe closes; Mike reflects on redundancy, summer off, dabbling in social and video.03:00 – Media Evolution & Creator EconomyFrom '90s trade mags → TechCrunch → The Europas & TechFugees. Blogs as early social media; today's creators (MrBeast, Bari Weiss, Cleo Abram) echo that era. Bloomberg pushes reporters front and center as media becomes personality-driven.06:45 – Europe's Ecosystem & Debate CultureEurope isn't Silicon Valley's 101 highway — it's dozens of fragmented hubs. Conferences like Slush, Web Summit, VivaTech anchor the scene, but the missing ingredient is debate. US VCs spar on stage then grab a beer; Europe is still too polite.12:00 – All-In Summit DebriefMads' takeaways from LA: Musk on robotics (the “hand” bottleneck), Demis Hassabis on AGI (5–10 yrs away), Eric Schmidt on US–China AI race, Alex Karp on Europe's regulatory failures. The Valley vibe captured, but it's only one voice.17:00 – EU-Inc & Draghi ReportDraghi's 383 recommendations, just 11% implemented. €16T in pensions sit mostly in bonds; only 0.02–0.03% flows into VC (vs 1–2% in the US). Permitting bottlenecks: 44 months for energy approvals. Panel calls for a Brussels “crack unit,” employee stock option reform, and fixing skilled migration.35:00 – Deal of the Week: ASML × MistralASML leads a €2B round in Mistral at €11B valuation. Strategic and cultural fit (Netherlands ↔ Paris) mattered more than sovereignty. Mads: 14× revenue is a bargain vs US peers. Andrew: proof Europe's VCs are too small — corporates must fill the gap. Lomax: ASML knows it's a one-trick pony with 90% lithography share; diversifying into AI hedges risk.49:00 – Defense & Industrial BaseRussian drones hit Poland, NATO urgency spikes. UK pledges defense spend to 2.5% GDP by 2027, but procurement bottlenecks persist. Poland cuts red tape under fire; UK moves at peacetime pace. Andrew: real deterrence is industrial capacity. Mike: primes must be forced to buy from startups; dual-use innovators like Helsing show the way.59:00 – Klarna IPO & the Klarna MafiaKlarna IPOs at $15B (down from $46B peak). Oversubscribed; Sequoia nets ~$3.5B; Atomico 12M → 150M. A new “Klarna Mafia” of angels and operators will recycle liquidity back into Europe's ecosystem.01:03:00 – Quantum's Hot StreakPsiQuantum ($7B, Bristol roots), Quantinuum ($10B, Cambridge), IQM (Finland unicorn), Oxford Ionics' $1B exit. Europe has parity in talent but lacks growth capital. Lomax: “Quantum is hot, but a winter will come.” Andrew: Europe can win here — if the money shows up.01:05:00 – Wrap-upThe pod ends on optimism: Europe may not own AGI, but in quantum it has a fair fight.

Gregor Gimmy: Pioneer of the Venture Client Model

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Gregor Gimmy, founder of 27pilots, a company dedicated to helping companies build and scale Venture Client units and allows them to benefit from startup innovations faster at large scale and significantly lower cost and risk than traditional corporate venturing methods. On this episode we will explore how this Venture Client model is shaping corporate innovation, the strategic benefits it offers, and how companies can adopt this game-changing approach to stay ahead in a competitive world. KEY TAKEAWAYS When I joined BMW in 2012 I was surprised to find out the small number of startups that it was leveraging to improve its technology landscape across its value chain. I told them that CVCs were investing in 2.8 startups per year. This is not nearly the number needed to solve all the technology challenges that we have, we need more like 100. My initial idea was not to invent a new model but to improve the current one. I was told that if they invested in 50 startups per year they would have around 250 startups in 5 years whose equity state we would have to manage, which is impossible. I concluded that VC isn't scalable, but it didn't solve the problem BMW had either, which was accessing, adopting, and transferring cutting edge technology fast because it's about investment not technology transfer. These are two totally different business processes. We needed to look for a new approach: becoming a Venture Client. Accelerators and CVCs are indirect models – like using a third party's battery technology in the cars you produce – you first make the investment and then do the adoption of the technology. The different in the Venture Client model is cutting out the middleman. If you want to be good at something you need a dedicated unit. If you do it part time it will only work partly. If you make it a department you can have more time you can dedicate to it, you can have a dedicated budget, you have a more solid KPI structure. BEST MOMENTS ‘More than getting into the world of Venture Client Modelling, I invented the world.' ‘A Venture Client is a company that adopts startup technologies through procurement and M&A.' ‘A corporate cannot compete against a good startup like Palantir or Oracle when they were startups.' ‘The Venture Client model will displace Corporate Venture Capital to become the standard of corporate venturing.' ABOUT THE GUEST As captain of the 27pilots endeavour, and the visionary behind the Venture Client model, Gregor GImmy focuses on advancing Venture Client knowledge and growing the global community through 27pilots' corporate clients and academic allies. Gregor is deeply engaged in researching, publishing, and lecturing on the Venture Client model through leading business schools and top business engagements. Gregor is also a frequent speaker at startup-relevant conferences such as Slush, Web Summit, 4YFN and DLD. ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur.
