About this listen

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Google's newly launched AI Mode in Canada, exploring its potentially profound impact on news organizations and content creators, since users increasingly rely on AI-generated summaries rather than clicking through to original sources. The discussion extends to broader policy implications, including recent comments from Donald Trump about punitive tariffs against countries that regulate American big tech, and the implications for Canadian digital policy.
