#14 Lisbon GenAI Community Meetup x #1 LeadDev Lisbon

The Lisbon GenAI Community is back for our 14th meetup and we’re kicking off 2026 with a very special partnership.

For this edition, we’re joining forces with LeadDev Lisbon to bring real engineering leadership and thought leadership to the table.

Two communities, one evening, and two speakers who are doing the hard work of building AI that actually holds up in the real world.

🗓️ March 19th, 2026 | 18:00 | AIhub, Lisbon

📅 Agenda
18:00 — Check-in & Networking
19:00 — Opening & Community Intro
Lisbon GenAI Community, LeadDev Lisbon & Partners

19:15 — 🎤 Talk 1: Building AI that Matters
João Galego — Head of Data and AI @ Critical Software

When the stakes are high, intelligence is only half the equation. As AI moves into aviation, healthcare, automotive and defence, reliability stops being a feature and becomes a core requirement. João will cover the practical engineering skills needed to build AI systems that are safe, robust, explainable and certifiable — from fault tolerance patterns to certification workflows like DO-178C, IEC 62304 and ISO 26262.

19:45 — 🎤 Talk 2: Responsible AI: Driving the Next Generation of AI Products
Paulo Dimas — Founder @ Halo NeuroAI & CEO @ Center for Responsible AI

AI is the most significant transformation of our generation. Drawing on real-world examples from the Center for Responsible AI, Paulo will explore the opportunities ahead, the risks we must address, and how Responsible AI is already shaping products and impacting people’s lives.

20:15 — 🍕 Pizza, Drinks & Networking
