Big news! @FTM_eu has launched a new podcast, with Emma du Chatinier and yours truly as co-hosts.

Each episode, we will explore a recent FTM story with its author - a great way to dive deeper into a topic, or catch up with a story you missed while cooking dinner.

Our first episode zooms in on the toxic business model of Shein, the Chinese fast-fashion giant. It's free to hear, but worth listening!

I understand the sceptics of GenAI and their wish for bursting the AI bubble. But I come to realise more and more in conversation with people how many plausible real world use cases there are, either for rote tasks (generating charts for a report) or helping people who aren't good at writing. Not to speak of the commercial application in advertising, PR or marketing. GenAI is here to stay.
