“I think that people always look at AI from two perspectives opportunity and challenge.” – George O’Brien, BusinessWest

GOB nailed it. This is a guy who watched the rise of the Internet, the demands of the 24-hour news cycle, the demise of media as we know it in 2007-10, the dot com bubble and burst, so his sane and sober -therefore radical- perspective on how AI will impact media is well…very GOB-like!
