Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Serenti. Today's episode is part one of our recent live event with Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web. Born in the same year as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, Berners-Lee famously shared his invention the World Wide Web for no commercial reward.
Its widespread adoption changed everything, transforming humanity into the first digital species. In September, he came to the Intelligence Squared stage with broadcaster Tanya Breyer to tell the story of his iconic invention and explore the future of human innovation. Drawing on his new memoir This Is for Everyone, Berners-Lee discussed AI, the Internet, and the future of humanity live at Caduggan Hall in London. In the spirit of Sir Tim's invention, we're also making the video from the event free and available to all.
