The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was established in 1994 by Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, to develop interoperable standards to lead the Web to its full potential. We are an international multi-stakeholder community where member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to build a Web based on the principles of accessibility, internationalization, privacy and security. Please be more curious than critical. Your interactions go to real people who care and do their best 🙏
Today is the anniversary of the release of the web to the world to the world, in 1991, by @npub1v0lh...jn0f when he said "Try it" Billions have taken up his call to use the web. W3C, as a steward of this initial gift since 1994, is realizing our vision of making the web work, for everyone – a web designed for the good of its users, that is safe and secure. image
At our recent AC meeting in Hiroshima, Japan 🇯🇵 Sophia Wu (Ant Group) spoke on "Fighting the deepfake threats." Generative AI has made it much easier and cheaper to create new content but raises trust concerns due to deepfake attacks. Using AI, fraudsters can craft fake videos from victims' images, enabling identity fraud. In her talk, Wu called for collaboration to tackle #deepfake threats with new complementary Web standards. 🎬 Watch the video:
35 years ago, on 12 March 1989 Sir Tim Berners-Lee wrote “Information Management: A Proposal” outlining the World Wide Web. Tim's vision outlined a future we are still creating: "We should work toward a universal linked information system... to allow a place to be found for any information...and a way of finding it afterwards... ...we will be looking for a systems which are future-proof: • portable, or supported on many platforms, • Extendible to new data formats."
