Season 7, Ep. 11- Tomicah Tillemann on Project Liberty’s Digital Renaissance: Rebuilding the Internet

As the digital landscape becomes increasingly dominated by a few major technology companies, the drive for a more equitable and inclusive internet has never been more urgent. In this episode of Better Innovation, host Jeffrey Saviano is joined by Dr. Tomicah Tillemann, President of Project Liberty and a visionary leader working tirelessly to decentralize data control and democratize digital platforms. Tomicah, who leads this $500 million initiative to develop alternatives to big tech, presents Project Liberty’s mission to enhance individual control over data and ensure fair economic benefits resulting from innovation initiatives.   With a rich background in policy and global advisory roles across both the public and private sectors, Tomicah shares how businesses can contribute to and benefit from a more open and equitable digital future. From examining the role of major tech platforms like TikTok in driving change, to debating the future of data rights and AI regulation, Tillemann offers a comprehensive view on how we can build a better internet.
