Emily Forlini
AI & Emerging Tech Reporter

About Me
I am PCMag’s AI reporter, specializing in original, long-form storytelling. Through on-the-ground reporting, I explore how emerging technologies are reshaping the way we live, work, and communicate.
Audio and video formats are a core part of my work. I’m a biweekly correspondent on CBS and co-host of two tech podcasts: Superintelligent, which I co-created, and Tech News Weekly on the TWiT network. I also appear in social videos on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

My Background
I pivoted to journalism after being a product manager at Amazon for nearly six years. I had a fulfilling career at Amazon, growing from individual contributor to manager as I oversaw the development of over two dozen tech systems. But I had an intellectual, creative itch that needed to be scratched, and journalism was always in the back of my mind. I changed careers through a Master’s degree at the Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism, and now I combine my business savvy and narrative chops to cover tech through a unique lens.
Outside of work, I enjoy visiting museums (history major), playing soccer and guitar, getting outside, and exploring new restaurants. I’m located in northern New Jersey outside of NYC, and am in the office in NYC roughly twice a week.
