Amy Webb is a rare breed of industry-respected thinker (Thinkers 50 Radar award winner in 2018), author (The Big Nine and The Signals Are Talking), and somebody prepared to look at signals in the world now and draw out what possible challenges, opportunities, and discussions we need to have that are new in order for humankind to thrive by 2030The control and ownership of AI patents, development of IP, and people are very much centered on the Big Nine (it includes Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Google, Facebook). In effect, the capital base for an AI or data-centered global economy sits in the hands of just nine organizations. This could be very scary as it throws up new ideas, debates, and even lexicography that is not very present in the way we think today.For example, should person A be presented with a different price for the same product as person B depending on their profile or online data?  This could range from the price of toilet paper to even maybe healthcare.
