Sam Torres is a fast-moving technology news reporter who has built a reputation for being first and accurate on breaking AI stories. With a journalism degree from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism and a minor in data science, Sam combines old-school reporting rigour — source cultivation, document verification, on-record quotes — with the speed that modern digital publishing demands. Before joining AI Stack Digest, Sam spent four years as a staff reporter at Reuters covering Silicon Valley, with a specific focus on AI regulation, venture funding rounds, and startup launches. Sam's scoops have been picked up by The New York Times, Bloomberg, and the BBC, and he has testified as a subject-matter expert before a US Senate subcommittee hearing on AI transparency. At AI Stack Digest, Sam runs the daily and weekly news briefings, monitors AI policy developments across the US, EU, and UK, and maintains a network of sources inside major AI labs, government agencies, and venture capital firms. Sam is particularly focused on the regulatory landscape — tracking proposed legislation, enforcement actions, and the lobbying efforts that shape AI governance. Outside of work, Sam is an adjunct lecturer at a New York journalism school and runs a free newsletter coaching aspiring tech reporters on source development and FOIA requests.
