How it went
The MIT Media Lab Spring Member Event 2026 took place from 28 to 30 April on the MIT campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Access to the event is exclusive to member organisations of the lab, making it a high-density exchange space for researchers, companies, investment funds and corporations with established links to the Media Lab.
The programme revolved around a central question: how to live with artificial intelligence once it stops being a one-off tool and becomes part of education, health, human relationships, decision-making and business activity. Through sessions such as “Raised by AI?” and “Challenging Algorithms”, the event explored both the potential of AI to expand human capabilities and the need to audit, measure and govern algorithmic systems with real-world impact.
GCO Ventures’ visit to Boston provided a first-hand view of that debate and of the ecosystem that makes it possible. Together with Lighthouse DIG, a consultancy associated with the MIT Media Lab, the agenda combined the Spring Member Event with visits to key spaces across the city’s entrepreneurial, academic and investment landscape.
The most relevant signal we took from Cambridge is that the questions around AI have already shifted. The issue is not simply whether to adopt it, but how to design and apply it in ways that expand people’s ability to think, decide and act for themselves. This reading also connects with our own way of working: at GCO Ventures, we promote the internal adoption of AI as a tool to strengthen capabilities, improve efficiency and free up time for higher-value tasks.
The visit also left a second conclusion: Boston stands out for the density of connections between scientific talent, capital, entrepreneurship and corporations. For GCO Ventures, this is a particularly useful reference point. In Spain, we already have many high-quality pieces in place; the challenge is to build more spaces where they can meet systematically, repeatedly and productively.
