About AI Extra

Hi! 👋 I’m Sharon Goldman - I am a senior reporter at VentureBeat who has covered all things AI for the publication since April 2022. This Substack offers extra takes on the news I’m covering - the backstory on my reporting, what I’m thinking, what I’m hearing.

I’ve been writing and editing about tech for over a decade, for Business Insider, Forbes.com, CIO, Deloitte, and dozens of other pubs. I’m also a singer-songwriter in my spare time, as well as a certified Pilates instructor and a bird nerd.
