Deirdre Bosa to Leave CNBC and Launch Artificial Intelligence Show

CNBC anchor and technology journalist Deirdre Bosa is leaving the network at the end of August to launch a show focused on artificial intelligence, marking her departure after more than a decade covering technology, markets and global business for CNBC.

Bosa is based in CNBC’s technology-focused San Francisco bureau, where her reporting has centered on Silicon Valley and some of the world’s largest technology companies. Her planned AI show represents a move into a media segment developing alongside rapid investment in artificial intelligence companies, infrastructure and enterprise deployment.

Details about the new show’s format, distribution platform and launch timing were not disclosed.

Bosa previously anchored CNBC’s daily “TechCheck” program from April 2021 until February 2023. The show covered technology companies, investors and industry developments during a period of significant expansion and subsequent restructuring across the technology sector.

Before taking the anchor role, Bosa worked as a technology reporter covering major companies including Amazon and Alphabet. Her reporting also extended to Chinese technology companies such as Alibaba and Huawei and Silicon Valley businesses including Airbnb, Uber and WeWork.

That reporting background gives Bosa experience across many of the companies and markets now shaping the commercialization of artificial intelligence. The sector increasingly spans semiconductor and computing infrastructure, cloud platforms, enterprise software and consumer applications, creating a broad business story around how companies finance, build and deploy AI systems.

Earlier in her CNBC career, Bosa appeared on the network as a contributor reporting from Vancouver, Canada.

She originally joined CNBC in 2012, covering markets and economies from London and Singapore. Bosa subsequently co-anchored several of the network’s international morning programs, including “Squawk Box Asia,” “Squawk Box Europe” and “Worldwide Exchange.”

Her international experience also predates CNBC. Bosa worked as an anchor and reporter for CCTV News International in Beijing and contributed to Fox Business News.

Before moving further into journalism, she worked for multinational corporations including Barrick Gold in Toronto and Rio Tinto in Shanghai, giving her experience inside global businesses in addition to her subsequent work covering them.

Bosa is a graduate of McGill University in Montreal and earned a master’s degree in journalism from the University of Hong Kong.

Her departure comes as artificial intelligence has become a dedicated coverage area across business and technology media rather than solely a component of broader technology reporting. Investment in computing capacity, AI models and enterprise applications has increased the need for reporting that follows both the technology itself and the economics of deploying it.

Bosa’s move will take her from a large financial news network into a new AI-focused media project after more than a decade covering the companies, executives and capital driving the technology industry.
