Sir Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think AI will destroy the web

Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, discusses the web's future on Decoder with host Nilay Patel, the article's author. Berners-Lee says he remains optimistic but worries the web has strayed from its original vision of a democratizing force for knowledge and creativity. He argues that market dynamics have led to monopolies like Chrome, Google Search and a single dominant social network, and criticizes TikTok's addictive algorithms. The interview also covers his memoir This Is For Everyone and his work at Inrupt on the Solid standard.
