  • It’s our last episode, and what a way to end another incredible series! This week we are joined by wiki royalty, Jimmy Wales – founder of the Wikipedia project. Join Sue and Jimmy in this wonderful series finale as they discuss how the open-source revolution inspired the creation of the world’s best known online knowledge platform. Jimmy also shares his views on how to ensure diversity, a healthy online community and AI. Quentin shares his thoughts on where we would be as a society if we didn’t have Wikipedia –would information be capped rather than accessible to all?
