Tim Berners-Lee
[With AI] Somebody's going to have to think of a completely new algorithm, a new way of doing goal-based planning.
Tim Berners-Lee
My own personal preference is that the consumer, the individual person should be protected because individual people and the difference between individual people and the diversity we have between people on the planet is so important.
Tim Berners-Lee
I'm an optimist about humanity in general, I suppose.
Tim Berners-Lee
Cool URIs don't change
Tim Berners-Lee
