Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly capable of doing things that, not long ago, seemed uniquely human.
It can write, create images and music, reason through complex problems, teach, code, communicate, and increasingly act on our behalf.
So this raises a much bigger question:
If AI changes what machines can do, how might it change what it means to be human?
For our fourth Lisbon Innovators & Entrepreneurs meetup, we're going beyond the usual conversation about AI tools, productivity and business.
Instead, we'll explore the bigger questions about humanity, intelligence, consciousness, creativity, work, purpose and the future of life.
This won't be a lecture or a debate where we try to find one correct answer.
It will be an open and relaxed conversation where we can explore different perspectives, challenge our assumptions, and think together about where we're heading.
🧠 Some of the questions we'll explore
- What actually makes us human?
- What is intelligence, and is human intelligence really unique?
- Could AI ever become conscious?
- What happens when machines can do many things better than humans?
- Will AI replace jobs, transform them, or create entirely new possibilities?
- What happens to creativity when machines can create?
- If AI can teach us almost anything, how should education change?
- What happens to human purpose in a world where machines can do more and more of our work?
- Will humans and AI become collaborators, competitors, or something entirely new?
- Could AI help humanity solve some of our biggest problems?
- What risks should we be thinking about?
- And perhaps the biggest question: what kind of future do we actually want to create?
🌍 A conversation about the future, not just technology
You don't need to be an AI expert to join us. In fact, you don't even need to know much about AI. If you've ever wondered about the future of humanity, consciousness, creativity, work, education, technology or life itself, you're very welcome. Bring your questions. Bring your curiosity. Bring your optimism, your concerns, your scepticism, or your excitement. There won't be a single answer. That's the point. We'll think about these questions together and see what perspectives emerge when we put different people in the same room.
🤝 Come to share, learn and connect
As with our previous meetups, this is about people and conversation, not presentations. You might meet someone who sees the future completely differently from you. You might discover a new idea. You might change your mind about something. Or you might simply leave with a question you hadn't thought about before.
Let's explore the future of being human, and what we might become.
☕ Come for the conversation. Stay for the connections. Lisbon Innovators & Entrepreneurs Ideas. People. Possibilities.
