It's said that life's all about timing and AI has emerged just as I step back as CEO of Oovvuu. It means I can offer my experience to others starting and growing successful AI businesses as a consultant or director. I have a proven track record and a vi…lnkd.in/g2qRfrKp

This is an important step that Australian advertisers did not take. If Canadian publishers hold the line, and Governments and major advertisers shift their spend to publishers direct - and I mean direct, not through Google's ad mon…lnkd.in/gFeG_xfw lnkd.in/gdEre6BS

I used Midjourney this morning to imagine the impact of Google's ban on news content in Canada. That's an image I will remember. lnkd.in/gFWKMi4z

If you are suing each other does this mean the opaque era of frenemies is officially and finally over? Very good news if it is, albeit 10 years after it was obvious. Just need another 3,600 global publishers to join and the industry will win. lnkd.in/gAPgfAGY

If you're feeling low on energy, consider that inside every cell are structures called mitochondria. They act as batteries with an electrical charge of ~200 millivolts. Size for size, that's the power of a lightning bolt. Ironed…lnkd.in/g6fRbqDN lnkd.in/gUiPZyZR

The world's largest asset manager BlackRock has released data charting the number of times AI is mentioned in company earnings calls. The takeaway is that whether the tech or policy makers are ready or not, the money is going all in. lnkd.in/g_D7zVCE

I loved seeing Samsung Electronics leap to a 19% marketshare in global CTV today. When I created smh.tv for Fairfax in April 2013 we were one of their first ad funded apps. What shall we build next? lnkd.in/gb22dEiG

I recall having this exact discussion with Twitter in 2018. Video's the future of the web consumption. AI is the enabler. But who will be the premium creators... that's still up for grabs. BBC? NBCUniversal? The Walt Disney Company? lnkd.in/gKWcTRRe

Fascinating hearing Big Tech suddenly turning woke under the threat of AI. Can anyone share a good reason that we should believe them this time? lnkd.in/gMzvcWnD

Before you blithely think AI makes human tasks easier, ask the millions of poor people around the world who are feeding the machines. The future is already here: Humans are working for machines. Congrats to The Verge on a great investigation. lnkd.in/gKBjbtkp

Some big minds are getting focused on the emerging tech/threat of GenAI. Nice to see this considered approach from the folks at The Guardian. lnkd.in/gHFY4dNh
