Trust with Jimmy Wales
Manage episode 366562132 series 2702916
Information is power. But how do we adapt now that most of the information we consume comes with a heavy bias?
In an ironic twist of fate, it’s Wikipedia — the encyclopedia that anyone can edit — that has done one of the best jobs maintaining public trust in our polarized era.
I sat down with the founder of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales, in front of a live studio audience to explore how we got here and how Wikipedia’s transparency and vulnerability may be a model for a better future.
This…is A Bit of Optimism.
