That being said, Whittemore envisions that especially in the Web3 space, AI can be used to quickly summarize crypto-adjacent news. “Coindesk Web3 is the destination website for a lot of people,” Whittemore says. But CoinDesk isn’t the destination for all business or financial news. So why not use AI as a service for readers, for areas outside its core competence? What happens to the S&P 500 isn’t really CoinDesk’s bailiwick, but it’s what interests most in the space. So articles from Bloomberg or the Wall Street Journal can be summarized and then combined by the AI, Whittemore says, because these are “orthogonal to their interests, but relevant.”
