In this week's episode, Travis and Stewart interview the CMO of IBM Watson, Stephen Gold. We talk about cognitive computing, AI, machine learning, and more, discovering how long we have before the robots take over and kill us all (just kidding, kind of).

In the news, we reveal funding rounds for two AI marketing tools, talk about the Snapchat IPO aftermath, the latest Instagram Snapchat-like feature, and touch on the WikiLeaks Vault 7 disclosures. Better keep that webcam covered, right Travis?

By listening to this episode of VB Engage, you will hear:

    Next week, we interview Olga Kay, YouTube sensation and CEO of Mooshwalks.com. Olga is a Russian-American internet celebrity, comedian, writer, director, and performer. Trained as a professional circus juggler in her youth, she later moved to acting and video creation. In this interview, we discuss how she creates videos, engages with fans, and juggles so many projects. Olga is amazing.

    If you missed last week’s episode , Travis and Stewart  interviewed the U.K.'s top podcaster, Mark Asquith, on how to create amazing content and build communities that stick around, something he knows a thing or two about. And we'd love you to subscribe, rate, and review VB Engage. Every interaction from you, lovely listener, is fuel to our fire.

    As always, thanks for tuning in. Now, grab some tape to put over your webcam. And your microwave, too. You can't be too careful these days.
