This week, I’m excited to talk to Robert Caulk, Founder of Emergent Methods and the creator of AskNews. Rob has spent years exploring the intersection of AI, machine learning, and media, and his latest project brings a fresh perspective on how we consume news. AskNews goes far beyond being a simple chatbot that surfaces news trends. It’s a tool designed to analyze and present news with clarity, breaking down articles into facts, analysis, and differing viewpoints.
In our conversation, Rob and I dive into the ways journalists and newsrooms can use AI to craft better stories, improve analysis, and engage audiences. We also discuss Rob’s belief in the power of open-source AI and why transparency is key to fostering trust in media technology.
Don’t miss the end of the episode, where Rob shares actionable advice for those navigating the early stages of adopting AI in the media.
