Project Wilhelm

Digitisation is a process. Processes end.

Békési never wanted to become a software developer. “It just happened.” He only dealt with code because there was no other way, and he wants to spare others that. Digitisation is a process, and hopefully one that will soon be over. The future is not to let AI do the digitising. The future is to finish it. Project Wilhelm is an open-source and lobbying project for public services of general interest. Its goal by 2030: a digital infrastructure that lets municipal utilities and chambers of commerce host decentralised data centres, so that everything from Google to Amazon to Microsoft returns to democratic hands.
