Who Controls the Open Web? — with Shane Evans, CEO of Zyte (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For most of the web’s history, we’ve operated on a fairly simple assumption: if you put something on a public website, people could find it, search engines could index it, and information could move relatively freely across the internet. But as AI systems increasingly crawl, extract, learn from, and act on information from the web, that bargain is beginning to change. My guest today is Shane Evans, co-founder and CEO of Zyte, a company that builds technology for extracting data from the public w

Social Media’s Big Tobacco Moment — with Yaël Eisenstat (opens the original)

Design Thinking in the Age of AI with Jess Holbrook (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this episode I’m joined by Jess Holbrook, Head of UX Research for Microsoft AI. We talk about what UX research can—and cannot—tell us about what people need; why user-centered design may be too individualistic for technologies whose effects extend across families, workplaces, communities, and institutions; and what it means to put researchers in the room while AI systems are still being built rather than after fundamental design decisions have already been made.
