Look, ma! I'm now on Geekwire!

My first post is on the WTIA's new whitepaper pitching #Seattle as a global AI hub. Civic and tech leaders gathered at a roundtable to debate how to move forward. Lots of ideas, but many want the state to lead the way.

Washington state needs a ‘coherent’ story to compete in AI, leaders agree

Washington state may have everything it needs to become a global AI hub. The problem is, it hasn't figured out how to tell the world. At a roundtable convened by the Washington Technology Industry Association, civic and industry leaders debated what it will take to stop playing catch-up with Silicon Valley and start leading.
