Tech's Pledge To Fight AI Election Interference & Twillio's woes with Segment | EP 6

Last week, 20 tech companies across Big Tech, social networks and AI providers signed a voluntary pledge to fight election interference from AI-generated content going through 2024.

Bonus - couple of ideas for AI startups.

In the second half, we dive into Twillio’s recent troubles, particularly with one of their large acquisitions from the past - Segment. We peel a few layers behind Twillio’s original decision to buy Segment, what’s changed since and what does future outlook look like for the company.
