AI, even more so than the internet, gives power to whoever has the data. If the data is shared, so will the power.

Verified via web search. The exact quote "AI, even more so than the internet, gives power to whoever has the data. If the data is shared, so will the power" is confirmed as Tim Berners-Lee's statement, originating from his recent book "This is for Everyone" and discussed in The Conversation article (and republished on TechXplore in November 2025). Author attribution (Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web) is correct. Updated year from 2026 to 2025 to reflect actual publication date of the source article (November 2025). Vote "for" on statement 446 ("AGI could make governments subordinate to the companies that develop it") aligns with Berners-Lee's warning that AI gives unprecedented power to whoever controls the data — concentrating power in a few companies that could exceed governmental authority. Could not directly fetch theconversation.com (403) but web search confirms quote verbatim.
