THE CRUNCH
Kakul Srivastava, chief executive of the sample platform Splice, reckons AI-written emails are quietly eroding real conversation at work. In an interview with The Verge, she argues that messages drafted by AI are replacing the back-and-forth exchanges where actual understanding happens. It is a view from someone who has spent her career at the meeting point of Silicon Valley and creative industries, with past executive roles at Flickr, Yahoo, GitHub and Adobe.
The interview also touches on her track record at the company, which has included acquiring the instrument maker Spitfire Audio and expanding Splice's reach among music creators. Her background spans executive roles at Flickr, Yahoo, GitHub and Adobe, placing her between Silicon Valley and creative communities for much of her career.
