ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
15 Minutes. Every Weekday Morning. The AI Intelligence You Need.
Artificial Intelligence is evolving faster than our capability to understand its eventual impact. The AI North Brief is your daily filter, cutting through the noise to deliver only the essential news and policy shifts shaping Canada and the world.
Hosted by veteran news anchor and communications expert Paul Karwatsky, the show bridges the gap between the anchor desk and the cutting edge of AI governance. Currently pursuing his MS in AI Policy, Ethics, and Management at Purdue University, Paul brings a unique lens to the daily brief—combining decades of journalistic rigor with a deep, academic dive into the ethical frameworks and regulatory hurdles that will define the next decade.
