On February 21, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) will discuss the future of the World Wide Web and the influence of AI technologies with the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). We look forward to seeing you in the Telefonica BASECAMP.
The World Wide Web is one of the most revolutionary technical achievements of the last 50 years. Initially static and limited to documents in plain black on gray, it now connects interactive web applications and social networks around the planet and thus billions of people. It is the basis of business models, available in cars and airplanes and is now even the interface of household appliances.
What does the internet of the future look like? What influence do AI technologies have on the web – and vice versa? Answers will be given on February 21 by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in the Telefónica BASECAMP.

Today the W3C is an international community of thousands of experts who work together to develop open standards to ensure the long-term success and growth of the web.
