How AI will save the radio star Think Business

It was quite by accident I bumped into former RTÉ chief digital officer Muirne Laffan on the street in Dublin recently and asked: "So, what have you been up to?" Zoom forward a few days and she gave me the answer in the form of a demo with some of the most successful people in software globally. Alongside Laffan, who now runs LaffanLABs as a platform for collaboration with content creators and start-ups, sat successful Irish tech entrepreneur Eamon Moore who runs cloud firm Hikari and who successfully exited EMIT in 2018 along with the CEO and architect of San Diego-based Solliance, Zoiner Tejada, and Ciprian Jichi, CEO of Genisoft and chief data scientist at Solliance. Under the working titled'Music Manager' (a new brand has yet to be revealed) Moore pulled together the group to build what is a software as a service (SaaS) platform that could help radio stations tune in accurately to broadcast what music lovers want to hear. The start-up will be headquartered in Ireland and is already funded. 'Music Manager' is currently a working title for the business.
