About this episode
In this episode of Deep Learning with PolyAI, Michelle Schroeder sits down with Dom Nicastro, Editor-in-Chief at Simpler Media Group and longtime journalist covering CX, content, and enterprise tech.
Dom has spent years watching AI reshape newsrooms — and he sees striking parallels with what CX leaders are facing today. Journalists and CX teams share the same challenge: cutting through hype, spotting “AI slop,” and building trust through accuracy, governance, and human judgment.
They explore:
- Why journalism’s skepticism is exactly what CX needs right now
- How AI accelerates good work — and exposes weak processes
- Why bad AI (in news or CX) destroys trust instantly
- What Dom hears backstage at CX events that rarely makes it into press releases
- The role of governance, vetting, and human oversight in customer-facing AI
- How CMSWire built “Roberta,” their internal RAG system to support real reporting — not replace it
Dom’s take is clear: AI won’t replace humans, but it will reveal who’s doing the work well — and who isn’t.
👉 Listen to the full episode to learn what journalism can teach CX leaders about building trustworthy AI.
