Bio

Career Trajectory: From Financial Journalism to AI Authority

Hasan Chowdhury has evolved into one of Business Insider’s most authoritative voices on Silicon Valley’s AI revolution. His career began at The Telegraph and Financial Times, where he honed his ability to decode complex financial and technological developments for mainstream audiences. Since joining Business Insider in 2025, he’s become a go-to source for analyzing how major tech firms like Apple, Google, and Nvidia navigate the AI arms race.

  • 2023–Present: Senior Technology Reporter at Business Insider, specializing in corporate AI strategies

Defining Work: Three Articles That Shaped the AI Discourse

Apple’s Synthetic Data Gambit

Chowdhury’s April 2025 investigation revealed how Apple is using synthetic data to train AI models while sidestepping privacy concerns—a crucial insight given the company’s delayed entry into generative AI. Through interviews with machine learning engineers and analysis of patent filings, he demonstrated how Apple’s approach differs from rivals’ data-scraping methods. The piece sparked debate about whether synthetic data could become the new gold standard in AI development.

"Apple’s synthetic data strategy isn’t just about catching up—it’s an attempt to rewrite the rules of AI training altogether."

The Vibe Coding Revolution

This profile of Amazon’s AI leadership provided unprecedented access to AWS’s Q Developer team. Chowdhury coined the term “prompt engineering meets software development” to describe vibe coding’s rise, tracking its adoption from Silicon Valley startups to enterprise IT departments. His analysis of GitHub commit patterns showed a 300% increase in AI-assisted coding since 2023.

Nvidia’s Efficiency Crisis

When Nvidia’s stock plummeted $600 billion in March 2025, Chowdhury was first to connect the drop to Google’s new energy-efficient AI models. By comparing training costs across different chip architectures, he predicted which semiconductor companies would survive the industry’s “efficiency reckoning.”

Strategic Pitch Recommendations

Focus on Implementation Challenges

Chowdhury prioritizes stories about real-world AI deployment hurdles. His coverage of Apple’s synthetic data initiative [1] and Amazon’s developer tools [2] shows particular interest in how companies balance innovation with practical constraints like privacy regulations and legacy systems.

Highlight Cross-Industry Applications

While he focuses on tech giants, successful pitches demonstrate AI’s ripple effects. His Nvidia analysis [3] connected chip design to broader market trends in cloud computing and venture capital—a model for showing how niche developments impact multiple sectors.

Emphasize Executive Access

Chowdhury’s most impactful pieces feature C-suite perspectives. The Amazon profile [2] gained traction because it included verbatim quotes from AWS VP Deepak Singh about long-term AI strategy.

Data-Driven Story Angles

Pitches should include proprietary datasets or analysis. His Apple investigation [1] stood out because it correlated patent filings with hiring patterns in Apple’s machine learning division.

Avoid Consumer-Focused Pitches

While competitors cover AI gadgets, Chowdhury concentrates on infrastructure-level developments. His work rarely discusses consumer applications like smart home devices or AI wearables.
