Tim Berners-Lee made no mention of crypto or blockchain but seems bullish on the metaverse.
The man credited with creating the world wide web, Tim Berners-Lee, recently gave three predictions for the future of the internet as part of an interview discussing the web’s 35th birthday. According to the tech pioneer, the next chapter of internet history will be defined by AI, VR, and a big tech reshuffle.
Speaking to CNBC, Berners-Lee said that trustworthy AI assistants would mark a turning point for interaction. "One of the things I predict," said Berners-Lee, “is you will have an AI assistant, which you can trust, and it works for you, like a doctor.”
His second prediction is that humans will gain ownership of their data and that virtual reality (VR) and spatial computing (essentially, being immersed in the metaverse) will become the go-to modality for using computers.
