April 4, 2022 – Franklin, Mass. – Interactions, LLC, one of the world’s largest standalone artificial intelligence (AI) companies in the world, today launched the sixth season of its podcast, The ConversAItion. Host and Interactions CMO Jim Freeze will sit down with experts from companies including Spotify, Lyft, Netflix, Shopify and more in a renewed exploration of AI’s role across sectors, and its far-reaching impact on both businesses and consumers. 

In the five seasons since The ConversAItion’s 2019 debut, dozens of executives and academics have joined the show to discuss a wide range of interesting AI applications, with past guests hailing from companies like Duolingo, Zoox, Salesforce, Redfin and more.
