Keynote

The New Information Ecosystem | in English

David Caswell and Shuwei Fang analyze the transformation of the information ecosystem and examine why a purely content-driven approach is increasingly reaching its economic limits. The focus is on the question of how media companies must redefine themselves: as platforms, services, and knowledge systems whose core products in the future will consist not only of content but also of new forms of data streams, rights, identities, and communities. An open-minded look at the opportunities, challenges, and business models emerging in the nascent, AI-mediated information ecosystem.
