Artificial intelligence dominates Lisbon's Web Summit 2024 exhibitions

euronews (in English)

More than 3,000 companies from dozens of countries showcased advanced technology: from companies that certify wood exports via WhatsApp to flying vehicles that are are a cross between multicopter and aeroplane and promise to revolutionise air travel.

00:00They call it the new industrial revolution.

00:03Of the more than 3,000 companies that put their work here at the Web Summit Lisbon 2024,

00:09the majority work in the sector of artificial intelligence.

00:13They put the machines to think and learn to solve the problems of today.

00:19One of the most pressing is the deforestation in Brazil.

00:23The affected area is equivalent to 350 football fields.

00:30UDSHAT is an artificial intelligence that recognizes sawdust and burr.

00:35We do this recognition on WhatsApp.

00:37Our technology is an API verified by META.

00:41In Brazil, this recognition is used to fill the forest document.

00:46It helps the woodworker with this filling so that this wood passes on the federal highway with authorized certification.

00:54In Portugal, we want to take it to the European who buys Brazilian wood.

00:58And he certifies that this wood that comes from Brazil to him is a legalized wood.

01:03Here, artificial intelligence facilitates the life of those who like to travel by relieving the wallet a lot.

01:11Here we have a package of four flights.

01:14Lisbon, Malta, Rome, back to Lisbon.

01:19And this would be for how much, more or less?

01:22200 euros.

01:23Tell me 200 euros.

01:25Yes, yes.

01:26This package of flights, with the trip, we would know how much it would cost.

01:32Helena?

01:33So, look, if it were our platform, you could see that the real price is, through artificial intelligence,

01:40it would be for 66 euros.

01:43Four flights.

01:45We have 70 million flights in a database with convoys and buses.

01:49And in real time, we create combinations with this data with a goal,

01:53which is to basically connect those points with the goal of maximizing the conversion probability.

02:00The software knows everything.

02:01It knows all the prices of all the routes to all the cities in the world.

02:05And it is there to create, in real time, the combinations.

02:08We have millions and millions of possibilities that are more interesting for you as a user.

02:12In the Web Summit, there are also mobility solutions.

02:17This is an urban simulator.

02:19A hybrid model between a helicopter and a plane.

02:23It will allow you to transport people and goods in a faster and less polluting way.

02:29You can see it in the sky in about 10 years.

02:34With the chips and power semiconductors from Infineon, such things, which now look like their future,

02:40can be reality quite soon.

02:42So we are powering up drones, motors, electrical cars, AI data centers,

02:48and we are delivering power to where it's needed.

02:51Robots like this one we see here, the Stela, have great creative potential,

02:56but on the other hand, they can also end up with many jobs.

03:02This is a balance that those in this area are still trying to reach.

03:08We will see you at the Euronews Web Summit in Lisbon.
