Outshift and VentureBeat have joined forces to launch an AI Hub to help organizations navigate the complex landscape of generative AI and emerging technologies. 

VentureBeat, a leading media company covering AI and tech innovation, shared Outshift's expertise with its followers of industry execs, influencers, and decision-makers.

The partnership was a natural fit. Both share a similar global audience of highly technical leaders. 

“Our audience comes to us because of our reporting on AI,” says Todd Bokin, strategic partnerships director at VentureBeat. “We really get under the hood of what C-suite executives and developers need to know.”

A need for trusted advisors 

It’s no secret that Gen AI products, tools, and applications will have a significant impact on the way a business functions. However, this technology is still in its beginning phases. Despite its transformative benefits, leaders may hesitate to integrate it into their organization. 

With widespread adoption around the corner, it’s crucial for leaders to prepare themselves with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions, reorient strategies, and stay competitive in the market.

“The sole purpose of this partnership is to provide the industry with valuable information about AI, where it’s headed, the challenges, and what are the opportunities for people who are ready to scale up in the space rapidly,” says Jerome Sanders, executive communications manager at Outshift. 

The Outshift/VentureBeat AI Hub provides an ideal resource for organizations looking to stay current about these emerging issues. 

“It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in; companies now are all technology lead,” says Debra Sharp, director of branded content at VentureBeat. “The business leaders and the IT-decision leaders in these companies must stay informed on a range of technology, as it impacts their ability to stay competitive and innovative.”
