I love talking to journalists, beat writers and editors. These are the storytellers of our world and they objectively seek out information on behalf of their own communities of curious readers. Who better to join this show, where we are building a community of curious minds, than a writer, reporter and editors who is asking all the same questions we are?

Sharon Goldman is a Senior Writer and Editor at VentureBeat, an online news site focused on helping venture capital leaders make intelligent decisions around AI, machine learning and data.

She has been a journalist for 25 years, devoting the last 12 years to examining the impact of AI and technological developments on business.

Sharon has contributed to and written articles for Forbes.com, Business Insider and Deloitte, alongside many other business-oriented publications, being at the forefront of the introduction of AI tools such as ChatGPT and DALL-E-2.

In the course of our wide ranging conversation on the business of AI, we discussed how regulation in the European Union and the United States differs, the issues that policymakers need to address and how corporations and policymakers are trying to balance risk and innovation.

Every future leader of our society from private entrepreneurs to aspiring community leaders to future elected officials needs to pay attention to the trends in AI, ML and the permitted uses of private, personal data. And make articles from reporters like Sharon a priority on your reading list. She is asking the important questions that investors need answers to today and tomorrow as they navigate this complex space. If they are listening and reading to her reporting, so should you. Hopefully our conversation in this episode gives you a good starting point to ground yourself in all the intricacies of this important topic.
