Meredith Klein of “Meredith & The Media” interviewed CNN Business reporter Clare Duffy about her career.
Here is an excerpt:
- As a tech reporter for CNN, you cover social media, artificial intelligence, and the strategies of Big Tech companies — as well as how technology affects our daily lives. Can you give us some examples of the stories you’re writing?
- I think about my beat as “tech that impacts consumers,” and that means a lot of different things as tech touches our lives in so many ways.
- Some stories I’m writing include how AI is going to impact the job market. Of course, there are opportunities going forward in terms of making people more efficient—but AI is also poised to take jobs away from human workers.
- I’m also focused on competition and state of play in the AI market—how the biggest players in tech and the startup world are grappling for leadership positions, the fight for talent, acquisition strategies, etc.
- Also interesting to me is the cultural impact of AI and how it’s affecting relationships with people in our lives. For example, how people are using AI to level up their dating game is fascinating to me. Will it help make us more connected? Will we be better engaged, or will it pull us further apart? That is a big question for me right now.
