Inside CBC’s AI Playbook: How Rignam Wangkhang is Shaping the Future of Media

AI is Changing Media & Careers, Are You Ready?

In a world where AI is disrupting every industry, CBC News hired its first-ever AI Advisor — and it wasn’t a Silicon Valley technologist. It is CBC's Rignam Wangkhang, who is leading CBC into the AI era.

In this episode, Rignam shares how he carved out a role that didn’t even exist a year ago, the cultural challenges of introducing AI inside a legacy media organization, and why the future of journalism depends on adaptability, not coding skills. We’ll break down the AI tools every professional should master, how AI is reshaping job searches and entrepreneurship, and why you don’t need to be an “expert” to lead in this space.

Whether you're a student, a media professional, or just curious about how AI is transforming industries from the inside — this conversation is packed with practical advice and fresh perspective.

What You’ll Learn:

• How Rignam transitioned from journalism to AI leadership at CBC
• The cultural shifts AI is creating in traditional media
• The top AI tools you should be using right now (besides ChatGPT)
