Dominic Williams kicks off World Computer Day at Davos 2025 with insights into how the self-writing internet will revolutionize web development, enabling anyone to create sophisticated applications through natural language conversation.
Learn how the Internet Computer Protocol is laying the foundation for a new era of AI-powered innovation:
- How AI will democratize web development for 8 billion people.
- Why tamper-proof computing is essential for AI-driven applications.
- The economic impact of reducing development costs by 99%.
- How autonomous software will transform business operations.
The Internet Computer
The Internet Computer is a public blockchain network enabled by new science from first principles. It is millions of times more powerful and can replace clouds and traditional IT.
The network – created by ICP, or Internet Computer Protocol – is orchestrated by permissionless decentralized governance and is hosted on sovereign hardware devices run by independent parties. Its purpose is to extend the public internet with native cloud computing functionality.
Today, building, updating and owning a custom web application or internet service is completely out of reach for the ordinary person, and many organisations.
An individual wishing to create a sophisticated personal branding website, wedding planning application, or game to share with friends will simply find the barriers are too high. Meanwhile, a budding entrepreneur or SME wishing to create a sharing economy service with Web3 rails, must raise significant funds to hire engineers.
Elsewhere, many businesses have signed up for ruinously expensive SaaS services to obtain simple things such as CRM functionality. The issue is that such services lock in their data and make them captive customers.
The DFINITY Foundation has been working to break down those barriers by driving decentralized AI and enabling greater accessibility through the adoption of Internet Computer (IC) technology.
