Sir Tim Berners-Lee writing in The Guardian about why he gave the World Wide Web away for free, how we might instill that ethos back into broader digital culture, and the dangers of an unregulated & unchecked AI industry:

Somewhere between my original vision for web 1.0 and the rise of social media as part of web 2.0, we took the wrong path. We’re now at a new crossroads, one where we must decide if AI will be used for the betterment or to the detriment of society. How can we learn from the mistakes of the past? First of all, we must ensure policymakers do not end up playing the same decade-long game of catchup they have done over social media. The time to decide the governance model for AI was yesterday, so we must act with urgency.
