This policy idea calls for the creation of a long term solution for the storage of data, and large databases from public and private sources against the ravages of time, bad actors, and acts of god.
Data is stored energy. This type of energy is valuable because its power comes in the form of human knowledge, and this knowledge should be preserved for our future ancestors.
I’m proposing a protected facility for the online storage of data, and an AI operating as the interface. There should be three copies for every piece of data uploaded into the ark. One copy is publicly available online, one copy remains off-line and accessible only to the AI, and one copy goes into cold storage.
