Financial Times' Jon Slade on using AI as a catalyst to evolve, with quality journalism as the foundation

Welcome back to this special season of The Publisher Podcast, bringing you the best sessions from the Definitive AI Forum for Media, Information and Events, which we held with Flashes & Flames in London. This week features Jon Slade, CEO at the Financial Times,  speaking with Seedelta’s Chris Duncan, about how the business information publisher is taking on the AI challenge. Jon  talked about how he sees AI as part of a larger disruption that will force publishers back to the fundamentals of strong journalism and strong brands along with the development of new products. He spoke about the FT’s approach to licensing and the brands long-term focus on direct corporate deals rather than licensing to LLMs and the role of the FT’s archive in creating predictive intelligence products.
