Catherine McIntyre is The Logic‘s new artificial intelligence reporter. Read more in this note to staff from deputy managing editor James Temperton:

I’m thrilled to announce that Catherine McIntyre will be taking on the artificial intelligence beat at The Logic.

Since joining The Logic shortly after launch, Catherine has done a stellar job reporting on Canada’s innovation economy. Over the past eight years, she’s relentlessly covered the country’s startups and scale-ups and the investors backing them and developed an unmatched roster of sources.

In doing so, she’s established herself as a prolific news-breaker and has cemented her reputation as one of the best feature writers around. Whether delving into financial data or reporting on the real-world impacts of technology, Catherine has consistently delivered agenda-setting reporting. Her journalism has earned her widespread acclaim and multiple SABEW Canada Best in Business Awards.

As the AI story has grown, Catherine has stepped up her coverage. In recent months she’s delivered essential reporting on how it is changing everything from venture capital to education, while also reporting on the data centre construction boom and Ottawa’s attempts to establish Canada as a leading AI power.

Though covering AI has become part of every beat at The Logic, I’m delighted that Catherine will now be taking the beat on full time. It’s one of the most important in journalism today, and Catherine’s expert, authoritative reporting will help our readers make sense of a rapidly changing world.

Please join me in congratulating Catherine on her new beat.

– James
