The Internet and the World Wide Web have revolutionised the way knowledge is produced, mediated and consumed. This episode focuses on a group of entrepreneurs who have given us the online tools and platforms that now dominate global learning. Some of them also happen to be world-leading tech brands: Google, YouTube ... and the new kid on the block, OpenAI. The episode was recorded in front of a live audience at the Next Learning Conference in the Netherlands. * 01:24 Introduction to Internet as Knowledge * 07:06 Larry Page (1973–) & Sergey Brin (1973–) * 15:16 Chad Hurley (1977–) & Steven Chen (1978–) * 25:37 Jimmy Wales (1966–) * 33:01 Sal Khan (1976–) * 38:45 Luis von Ahn (1978–) * 45:28 Sam Altman (1985–) * 55:54 Summing Up
