Ep. 04 - Regulating AI - A perspective. Emanuela Girardi, AI policy expert
📢 AI enthusiasts, let's dig deeper into one of the most debated topics in tech today - #AIRegulation! 🤖
Just launched Episode 43 of my LinkedIn newsletter, "A Guy With a Scarf". This edition features a riveting interview with Emanuela Girardi, AI Policy expert and founder of Pop Ai, as we cut through the hype to discuss the recently approved European AI Act.
We explored the Act's potential impacts, its classifications of AI systems based on risk levels, and the challenges it faces in balancing innovation and regulation. We also highlighted the significance of making AI popular and accessible, the evolving AI policies across the globe, and the global competition in the AI landscape. 🌐
Key takeaway from Emanuela - "Let's regulate the use of technology not the technology per se". That's something to ponder over!

Ep. 03 - What exactly are "interactive rights" in sport video streaming, with Pete Scott.
📺 An Exciting Era for Interactive Media: Insights from Pete Scott, Co-Founder of Play Anywhere 🚀
In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital media, one innovative concept is transforming the way we engage with content - Interactive Rights. Recently, I had the privilege of conversing with Pete Scott, a trailblazer in this sphere and Co-founder of Play Anywhere.
Interactive rights allow the audience to interact with on-screen content beyond just passive consumption, be it purchasing an item from a show or interacting with content alongside friends. The premier Spanish football league, La Liga, is already leveraging this, hinting at a promising future for this technology.
But Pete's vision doesn't stop at sports; it extends to scripted television, incorporating behaviors common to social media platforms into multiple screens. By integrating partners ranging from sportsbooks to e-commerce stores, Play Anywhere creates a unified viewer experience.
The heart of Play Anywhere is the recommendation engine powered by Catch Media. This tech adjusts content according to user preferences, allowing for seamless transactions and personalized experiences.
As we move towards a future of interactive, connected, and personalized content, Scott’s role as a pioneer in this space is truly exciting. His continued focus on evolving technology, combined with his dedication to learning, ensures that the future of media is in safe hands.
Stay tuned for more updates as Play Anywhere continues to revolutionize the media landscape. 🌐
