The Cerebral Valley AI Summit is back. So Eric, Max, and James are taking stock of where the industry is headed before our summit in London on June 25. cerebralvalleysummit.com
Today on the pod, we're bringing you two of the liveliest panels from the 2025 Cerebral Valley AI Summit, held this week in London.
Both panels — “The Autonomous Vehicle Rollout” and “Investing in 2030” — explore one of the major themes from the event: where AI is poised to show up next in our everyday lives, beyond the chatbot. Think voice, devices, and even your car.
First up, we'll hear from Uber CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, and Alex Kendall, Co-founder and CEO of Wayve, who are teaming up to bring self-driving cars to the UK.
Then we turn to the investor perspective, with top European VCs — Philippe Botteri of Accel, Tom Hulme of Google Ventures, and Jan Hammer of Index Ventures — on where they see the biggest AI opportunities for founders in the years ahead.
