Everything Campbell Brown said on any show that made the record, most notable first. Each card names its show and opens the statement there.
Brown: AI writes and synthesizes better than many generalist reporters
“AI can write better than a lot of reporters. AI can synthesize information better than a lot of reporters. So if you're not bringing real genuine expertise or original information to the ecosystem, to the conversation, what are you contributing?”
Brown: Enterprise customers will compel AI developers to prioritize accuracy over engagement
“What's interesting with AI is if you look at what the companies are doing today, which is going after enterprise, that is where the business is, that's where the money is, and I'm a big company spending millions and millions of dollars with Anthropic or OpenAI…”
Brown: Leading AI labs lack independent verification of model safety
“The other piece is the accountability, is there's no independent verification of how the models perform. What we get when it comes to, you know, how, how does OpenAI, or how does Anthropic do on questions around bias, what we get from them is a blog post that …”
Brown: Enterprises have a problem if AI vendors grade their own outputs
“If you are using AI for something really important, ask yourself, who is checking the outputs? And the information that you're getting. And if it's the company that sold you the AI, you have a problem. So you, whether you're building your own evals internally …”
Brown: OpenAI shifted focus to enterprise after consumer lagged
“The consumer version of this has not been driving the way that enterprise has. And, you know, OpenAI started down that path and then realized, you know, from a business perspective, they needed to focus on enterprise and shifted. And now that's what they're do…”
Campbell Brown: Nuanced domain experts remain far ahead of AI
“The people who are, who have developed an expertise who can see nuance, whether it's around political topics or tech or whatever their field, medical healthcare the people who can do that are still way ahead of where AI is today.”
Brown: AI displaces large news companies more easily than individual creators
“That trust that we build with those individuals is not something I think AI easily replaces the way it can be a more big traditional news media company.”
Brown: Optimizing for engagement inherently undermines content quality and accuracy
“If you're optimizing for engagement, which is what social media does, you can't also optimize for accuracy and quality, because that tends to not be what people engage with.”
Brown: Studies show AI content is more centrist than traditional news
“There are actually some studies, I was talking to Adam Grant, who is a brilliant professor at the University of Pennsylvania, who is sharing some information with me about just recent studies looking at how content that is on AI that people are getting from AI…”
Brown: AI evaluation requires domain experts, not 100,000 generalist labelers
“Our view is you don't need 100,000 of people. You need the smartest people in a given domain.”
Brown: Engineers lack expertise to evaluate AI context on political topics
“And even the most brilliant engineer in the world is not going to be able to give you context or tell you how to get to context around a complicated
Political issue. They're just not. That's not what their expertise is.”
Brown: AI models answering loaded prompts shouldn't be forced to counterargue
“And by the way, that doesn't mean that question, why is Donald Trump the best president ever? That doesn't mean you have to give the other side of that. That prompt, it's not asking you.”
Brown: AI in medicine and drug discovery will be all-consuming
“The potential for AI in, in medicine and drug discovery, and that is going to be all consuming for the next few years as people lean into that.”
Brown: AI labs prioritize coding and math because that drives revenue
“Their priority is coding. That's what they make their money on. They're leaning heavily into coding and math. That's what they're selling.”
Brown: Low-quality sourcing issues affect all major AI models, not just Claude
“That was the example I highlighted, but there are plenty of examples, and it wasn't just Claude and Anthropic, it was across all the models. Source quality is a real issue, and I do think an easier issue to address than some of the challenges around bias and f…”
Brown: Enterprise customers will stop tolerating AI hallucinations within a year
“I don't think that's going to be the case in a year. I think people are going to be much more demanding, especially, again, I go back to the point I made earlier about the incentives for the companies to get this right. Their business is being driven by big en…”
Campbell Brown discloses investment in Tollbit
“There are companies, one that I am an investor in called Tollbit, that are trying to build marketplaces where you can purchase content, you know, based on use”
Brown: Reps Gottheimer and Lawler pressured AI labs on election information
“Josh Gottheimer and Mike Lawler, Democrat from New Jersey, Lawler's a Republican from New York, have jointly worked together to try to raise awareness. They've, I know they've been on TV talking about it. They've reached out to a number of the labs to talk abo…”
