Vodcast Episodes
"Journalists need to become a beacon of trust – that role will become way more important than to write well."
"You don't have to do everything. You don't have to be everywhere. Sometimes less is more, because you keep that loyalty with your audience. They know what to expect."
"The functionality from AI is so fundamental to what news does. It deals with the heart of information, that sooner or later it’s going to add up to something more than just making the existing way we do journalism more efficient. It’s going to add up to a whole new, very different kind of information ecosystem."
We use it without thinking. We talk about it without fully understanding it.
"Regulatory sandboxes are not just about compliance; they create an environment where companies can test AI innovations while ensuring they align with evolving legal frameworks"
"What's the point of chasing digital innovation if people aren't free to express themselves?"
