E33: Jason Cross, Newfold Digital: The Great AI Writer and Assistant Uprising

In E33,  Co-host Mike Boland is joined by guest Co-host Jason Cross, SVP Product at Newfold Digital to bat around two important topics in local.

First Mike and Jason talk about whether Google’s experiments with an AI-tool for writing news articles is a net plus for local journalism. 

The two then pivot to discuss whether Google’s efforts to revamp its digital assistant with AI spells the beginning of the end for voice assistants like Google’s, plus Alexa and Siri.

The two also find time for some discussion of how AI is transforming the process of creating new businesses – from choosing a name to finding just the right domain.
