Weeks before the event, Web Summit announced a new CEO: the former Wikimedia Foundation CEO Katherine Maher. The executive, who also chairs privacy-focused messaging app Signals board, said, In recent weeks, Web Summit has been at the center of the conversation, rather than the host. Its purpose was overshadowed by the personal comments of the events founder and former CEO, Paddy Cosgrave.

Cosgraves comments on the conflict in Israel-Gaza may have introduced a hiccup in the run-up to the premier event, expected to host 70,000 people in mid-November. However, the event, now in its 15th year, expects smooth sailing. Google, Meta, Amazon, Intel, Siemens, and others said they would not attend this years Web Summit.

The most significant announcement Microsoft can make right now is the introduction of its underwriting artificial intelligence (AI) chip. According to a report from The Information, thats exactly what Microsoft will do at its annual conference for developers and IT pros.

Microsoft has made significant investments in AI over the years, including a total of $11 billion in ChatGPT and Dall-E creator OpenAI. The company is rapidly incorporating AI into its products, such as its flagship operating system, Windows 11, productivity suite Microsoft 365, and more. So, pushing to build prowess for an in-house dedicated AI silicon, something that has propelled NVIDIA to over $1 trillion in market capitalization, is a no-brainer.

Expect AI-driven advancements in Copilot, product and functionality demos, and the companys vision for the future.
