Episode 25 of Localogy’s This Week in Local podcast features a conversation on emerging technology between two fast-talking tech geeks — Yext Chief Data Officer Christian Ward and Localogy Senior Analyst/Podcast Host Mike Boland.
In this lively back and forth, the two local veterans speculate on what’s around the corner for AI and search.
A frequent and popular speaker at Localogy events, Ward has long had his finger firmly on the pulse of AI. In fact, he was talking about generative AI long before it became the latest tech topic du jour.
A key theme of this episode is understanding what sits at the intersection of AI and Search as Google, Microsoft and others race to integrate it. As the leader in search, Google must wrestle with an innovator’s dilemma when deciding how to infuse AI. Spoiler alert. Ward isn’t betting against Google.
During the interview, Christian references Marc Andreessen’s editorial “Why AI Will Save the World”. You can read the full editorial here.
