Now this is a powerful second Act, which is associated with the wave of AI Open-SOS enthusiasts. This time the stake is more around the stake, and we need to support it which was never.

AI leader Hugging Face developed one in 2024 Open-source platform for AI robotWhich already has 3,500+ robot data sets and attracts thousands of participants from each continent to join the huge hackathon. Rasbhari pie London became public on stock exchange For $ 700 million. After a gap, the maker came back back; The most recently around 30,000 were present in one, with kinetic sculptures, vivid octopus and DIY robot bands, and this year there will be more than 100 manufacturer fairs worldwide. Just last week, Diy.org Started its app again. In March, my friend Roy Mehboob, founder of Afghan Girls Robotics Team, released Movies For incredible reviews about the team. People love the idea that making is the final form of human empowerment and expression. All times, a main set of people continue to affect millions through manufacturer organizations such as fablabs and Adafruit.

Studies show that creativity on the hands reduces anxiety, combat loneliness, and increases cognitive function. The task of making us the basis, connects us to others, and reminds us that we are able to shape the world with our own hands.

I am not proposing to reject AI hardware, but to reject the idea that innovation must be owned, elite and close. I am proposing to create funds and open options. This means that our investment, time and shopping towards robots manufactured in community laboratories, the AI ​​models trained in the open, tools made transparent and hacked. This world is not just more inclusive – it is more innovative. It is also more fun.

This is not apathy. This is about fighting for the kind of future we want: not the future of openness and happiness, not of conformity and consumption. One where technology invites participation, not inactivity. Where children are older, not only knowing how to swipe, but to build. Where creativity is a common attempt, not the legendary province of lone talent in glass towers.

In his IO declaration video, Altman said, “We are really on the verge of a new generation technology that can make us better.” This reminded me of the film MountainheadWhere four tech mogals tell themselves that they are saving the world while the world is burning. I don’t think the iPhone made us better. In fact, you have never seen me running fast when I am trying to snatch an iPhone from the hands of my three -year -old child.

So yes, I see what Sam Altman and Johnny Ive will unveil. But I am far more excited about what is happening on the basement, classrooms, workbench. Because the real iPhone moment is not a new product we wait. This is the moment when you feel that you can make it yourself. And best? When you are catching a soldering iron, you cannot dominate.
