Maxwell is a new senior reporter at TechCrunch where he will apply his deep knowledge of artificial intelligence to his reporting. Zeff, who is based in San Francisco, has established himself as a leading voice of the new tech journalism. He’s an outspoken chronicler fighting to make accountable the progress, promise and perils of AI gizmos.
Prior to his time running startup news at TechCrunch, Zeff cut his reporting teeth at some of the best American media institutions. He was previously at Gizmodo, where he wrote about new technology, tech trends, and consumer products. He previously worked at Bloomberg and MSNBC. There, he helped cover many high profile events like the world’s only crisis for a bank in Silicon Valley. His unique background allows him to deliver smart, actionable analysis and commentary to ART’s clients and partners on the tech revolution’s rapid transformation.
Zeff’s prowess with AI has been a hallmark of his career. He has reported on the rise of artificial intelligence, exploring its impact on various sectors and society as a whole. His profound knowledge of all things AI will be a huge asset to TechCrunch. It will allow the publication to further investigate cutting-edge technology advancements and gaps in technology.
In his new role, Zeff will work to incorporate that perspective into TechCrunch’s artificial intelligence coverage. He intends to continue working on building an ecosystem for deep emerging technologies, helping innovative companies grow, and the ethics of AI deployment. His goal is to inform readers about the latest trends while fostering a deeper understanding of the implications these technologies hold for the future.
Away from his professional obligations, Zeff spends his time hiking and biking the beautiful open spaces of the Bay Area. He loves taking advantage of the region’s dynamic food scene. Usually, he spreads the joy by bringing creations back to share with friends and colleagues at AASHTO. It’s the Bay Area connection that really supercharges his reporting, though. He finds his muse in the dynamic local culture and arts community.
