Kara Swisher is one of the most respected voices in artificial intelligence and technology journalism, with a career spanning over three decades. Known for her fearless interviewing style and razor-sharp insight, Kara has been at the forefront of the digital revolution since the early 1990s. From her early reporting on AOL and the dot-com boom for The Washington Post to her creation of “BoomTown” at The Wall Street Journal, she has consistently delivered unrivalled coverage of Silicon Valley’s rise—and reckoning. Her work has not only chronicled the evolution of the internet but has also shaped the way the world understands its impact.

A trailblazer in tech media, Kara co-founded Recode and the All Things Digital conference with Walt Mossberg, conducting landmark interviews with the likes of Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk. Her contributions as co-host of the “Pivot” podcast and host of “On with Kara Swisher” have further solidified her reputation as a must-hear commentator on AI, big tech, and the power structures they influence. Her time as an opinion columnist at The New York Times and editor-at-large at New York Magazine reflects her ability to move between reporting and analysis with unmatched authority.

Kara’s writing is equally influential. Her best-selling books—including “aol.com” and “There Must Be a Pony in Here Somewhere”—have become defining accounts of the digital age. Her latest release, “Burn Book: A Tech Love Story”, offers a candid and provocative look at the personalities and politics driving the tech industry. A recipient of the prestigious Gerald Loeb Award and an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Kara is lauded not only for her journalistic excellence but also for her impact on public discourse around technology and ethics.
