Bots have been around for more than half a century to automate repetitive tasks and provide services on early internet platforms. The first was ELIZA, developed as a research project in 1966 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) the goal was to simulate conversations with a human being. ELIZA conversed with users, although it did not understand what the user was saying.

The future of AI is distributed and democratic, according to renowned security technologist, Bruce Schneier, not controlled by corporations. In his talk he revealed work on developing “public” LLMs. Developments in the past few weeks indicate he may be right and that would be good news for verifiable information. Speaking at the RSAC Conference in San Francisco last week, Schneier talked of trust and how we give it to people, strangers, organizations, and technology.
