AI Hot Takes Part 3: At the unofficial Websummit LGBTQ+ Party

We gathered at The Late Birds Hotel in Lisbon's Bairro Alto during the Unofficial Web Summit LGBTQ+ Party on November 12, 2025. The evening brought together LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs, VCs, founders, and community supporters to share their perspectives on AI's role in creativity, work, and human connection.

Here are some of the hot takes:

On Creativity & Work:

• "AI will eventually move out of the arts and do what it's supposed to do: logistics, care, and infrastructure management."

• "Advertising is going to get replaced way before film and television."

• "AI expands my creativity because I feed it ideas and it makes something new, which I then make something new out of."

On human connection:

• "I'm worried about the human interaction and emotion that are lost with AI."

• "We need to embrace AI, but it can never truly replace the human factor that is needed for critical thinking."

• "As an autistic person studying computer science and law, AI has helped me understand neurotypicals and adapt to a world not built for me."

On the future:

• "We're going to have tons more smaller startups with about 10 people doing crazy stuff."

• "I dream that at some point we'll stop working because AI will do everything and we can take more vacation."

• "AI will outsmart people in 10 years, so we'll all move to another planet. I'm choosing Saturn."

Thanks to The Late Birds Hotel, Identity.vc, and everyone who joined us for this unforgettable evening of connection and conversation.
