Keith Shaw Relaunches 20-Year Tech Commentary With Harder Questions on AI and Corporate Power

1 articles · Updated · Computerworld · Oct 26

Keith Shaw is reviving Today in Tech with a more opinionated format that asks what major technology stories actually mean for users, workers and the public.
After more than 20 years covering the industry, Shaw says tech companies increasingly push products and policies without proving they improve lives, while benefiting from data collection, attention-driven algorithms and concentrated corporate control.
The revamped show will widen beyond enterprise IT into gaming, social media and gadgets, while keeping interviews with guests willing to challenge hype and missing assumptions.
Shaw says the shift is not anti-tech: DEMO will still spotlight useful products, while Today in Tech takes the more skeptical role as AI and other technologies reshape work, information and political discourse.
