Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Serenti. For this episode, we're rejoining for part two of our recent live event with the founder of the World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Berners-Lee joined us recently at Caduggan Hall in London to discuss the invention of the web, the future of AI and humanity. and his new memoir, This is for everyone.
He was in conversation with CNBC broadcaster Tanya Breyer. If you haven't heard part one, do just jump back an episode and get up to speed.

Well, we're also seeing and have seen the impact of toxic social media algorithms. There's particular concern about the harmful effects on young people, on mental health. Who do you think should be accountable for that, Tim, and how can we fight that? In general, I think that if you have a platform, if you're running a platform and I put in a something nasty, something hateful, and you as a platform, you multiply the number of people it gets to. And if you do that deliberately so that people, more and more people on your platform feel hatred.
