Empowering Tomorrow's Internet | Decentralized Storage and AI in a Changing Data Landscape With Frank McCourt
A short tease of an upcoming new book that explores the evolution of decentralized storage and its potential to rectify Web2's injustices as AI's rise and data proliferation underscore the urgency for change.
ABOUT
At the beginning of the internet, there was no way to share data. Decentralized storage was not possible. Now there are multiple ways to store data in a ‘Shared’ state. With AI algorithms now consuming vast amounts of personal and intellectual data, the prospect of the exploitation of that data is daunting.
In this short unique episode of "Money Reimagined," Michael Casey is joined by Football Club owner and Philanthropist Frank McCourt. He is also the founder of Project Liberty, an urgent initiative to repair the web.
Currently, Casey and McCourt collaborate on a joint book endeavor, with Frank elaborating on his insights during a casual lunch conversation. He delves into the Internet's transformation into a data economy, the value of personal information, and the impact of Artificial Intelligence algorithms and machine learning on the realm of intellectual property and copyright ownership.
Join us as we envision a more equitable digital landscape through decentralized storage, personal data security, and AI synergy.
Money Reimagined has been produced and edited by senior producer Michele Musso and our executive producer is Jared Schwartz. Our theme song is “The News Tonight ” by Shimmer.

He was also a senior advisor at MIT Media Labs's Digital Currency Initiative and a senior lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management.
