Because I've got a background in video games, I've always looked at the possibilities of being able to ensure that everybody can play on a single level playing field.

Unfortunately, AI has not given us those opportunities. It's neither equal in its development nor is it equal in its output.

And so, looking today or in the past couple of weeks at things like DeepSeek, it's given us the possibility as developers or people who have genuine interest in AI to be able to look at the prospect of being able to develop things ourselves.

I'm all about closing that digital gap and the poverty gap in everything that I create. And I think we're getting to a place with AI now where we can create things from the comfort of our local computer, develop our own GPTs, and not have to line the pockets of huge businesses worldwide to be able to plough our own furrows and find our own paths.

That's what excites me the most.
