WSI Executive Director, Professor Dame Wendy Hall delivered an address on ‘Web Science, AI and Future of the Internet’ and said, “Web architecture is a simple set of protocols, that gave rise to complex macro phenomena. Web is the co-creation between humans who put the content and the technology that enables it. The whole thing is designed for wonderful things but when it goes big, bad things will happen such as cyber bullying and fake news.”
