Sharing the Sandbox: Why Big Tech Needs Better Rules

Back in the year 2000, a writer named Paulina Borsook published a famous book called 'Cyberselfish.' She noticed that many early tech pioneers believed they did not need anyone else. They argued that computer wizards should invent whatever they wanted without following normal rules, paying taxes for public roads, or helping out their hometowns.

Now, twenty-five years later, her book is back in print because those exact same attitudes are popping up again—especially around Artificial Intelligence! Today, giant tech companies are rushing to build super-smart AI models and massive computer chips. Some tech leaders still claim that government guidelines only slow them down, like a kid who wants to play with all the toys in the sandbox without sharing.
