Yea, AL Gore only claimed to have created the internet:
"I took the initiative in creating the Internet." - Al Gore, 3/9/1999

Vint Cerf is on record saying "Al Gore was the first political leader to recognize the importance of the Internet and to promote and support its development." https://www.theregister.com/2000/10/02/net_builders_kahn_cer...
> As a Senator in the 1980s Gore urged government agencies to consolidate what at the time were several dozen different and unconnected networks into an “Interagency Network.” Working in a bi-partisan manner with officials in Ronald Reagan and George Bush’s administrations, Gore secured the passage of the High Performance Computing and Communications Act in 1991. This “Gore Act” supported the National Research and Education Network (NREN) initiative that became one of the major vehicles for the spread of the Internet beyond the field of computer science.
Summary is that he is obviously referring to work around regulation, permitting, and oversight.
