In this episode of Changing the Channel, host Joe interviews Kira, the founder and CEO of Informed, a minimalist news concierge. Kira discusses his journey as a first-generation immigrant from Ukraine and Israel to the U.S., and how his experiences with misinformation and media bias have shaped his mission to provide trustworthy, concise news. They delve into the role of AI in reducing information overload and maintaining editorial oversight. Kira emphasizes the importance of individual responsibility in managing information consumption and how Informed aims to restore the dignity of being well-informed in an era flooded with content. The discussion also touches on the future implications of AI on various industries and the evolving landscape of news media.
