Live Tracking Apps, the Dark Side of AI, and more in the news (Episode 4)

Mar 8, 2018

In this episode, Jason Foster (CEO) is joined James Lupton (CTO) and Tor Park (Head of Marketing) from Cynozure to discuss news from the previous month that made it into the mainstream press and some trade publications about data and analytics. They each brought along 4 or 5 articles to discuss and then hit record. Given the prevalence of data, analytics and AI in the news nowadays, we find ourselves talking about this stuff all the time. We thought we'd make it a feature of the Hub & Spoken podcast show.
