10 Anthony Davies: The future of TV
In this episode, I talk to Anthony Davies, MD of Design at Sky and Comcast. We talk about the future TV, fixing the web, designing with and for AI and much more. As you will hear, he’s an incredibly smart, strategic, creative and humble guy, which helps to explain why he’s so highly respected.
Finally, Anthony mentions Sky Glass, their high-end TV, with elegantly integrated software and services, and Sky Q, a set-top box system that combines satellite and broadband feeds.
I hope you find this conversation as wise and insightful as I did.
