What Will Become of Media? From Being Found to Being Chosen in the Age of Co-Intelligence

Being visible is the minimum; being chosen is the real achievement. How trust, identity, and co-intelligence between people and AI are changing the way media operate.

This year at Intersection 2025 we will address a theme that runs through every world of information: what will become of media in the age of artificial intelligence?

We will do so through the testimonies of three protagonists who, each in their own way, is redefining the boundaries of their sector:

  • Claudia Uccelli, CEO of Pazienti.it, an organization that has built trust and community in a domain where reliability is everything;
  • Roberto Boella, CSO of LaPresse, who is leading a profound transformation — from photo agency, to wire service, to becoming an integrated editorial brand;
  • Andrea Pontini, Founder of InsideOver, who has demonstrated how visual identity, storytelling, and consistency can make a journalistic project recognizable at an international level, with a unique business model of its kind.

Three different experiences, united by a common thread: the ability to combine strategy, technology, and audience trust in an increasingly complex ecosystem.

From Traffic to Value

In recent years the web has shed its skin. Traffic, on its own, is no longer a sufficient indicator to guarantee the resilience of an editorial project.

The volume of content has exceeded the threshold of the sustainable, and artificial intelligence has accelerated a process already underway: the proliferation of speculative sites and low-value content, produced with the sole objective of intercepting clicks and easy monetization. An information inflation that has polluted the web and made it increasingly difficult to distinguish between what is authentic and what is engineered.

In response, Google is transforming from a search engine into a content curator: it no longer archives everything, but selects what it considers reliable, recognizable, and worthy of trust. It is a form of algorithmic content curation that rewards those who have built — and continue to build — a solid editorial brand capable of nurturing a genuine bond with their audience.

Today, only those who know, listen to, and value their audience can create a real competitive advantage over the universe of speculative content. In this scenario, SEO is no longer a technique, but a discipline of reputation: a constant effort of credibility, coherence, and trust.

This is what we see every day in the projects we work alongside: organizations that grow because they combine strategy and trust in a measurable way. And it is the perspective from which we operate alongside publishers and brands: helping them move beyond the tactical use of platforms and tools, and build a genuinely strategic culture of co-intelligence, one capable of generating value over time.

Artificial Intelligence as a Strategic Ally

Within this scenario, co-intelligence comes into play: the increasingly close collaboration between people and systems, between culture and algorithm. AI does not replace productivity — it amplifies it. It does not diminish the human role — it enhances it — making decision-making processes faster, strategies more precise, and content more effective.

The difference lies in how it is integrated: not as a productivity shortcut, but as a strategic lever for interpreting data, understanding signals, and improving business processes.

This is where the real evolution is being decided: those who can make technology and vision coexist will transform their digital presence into a lasting competitive advantage.

From Being Found to Being Chosen

Being visible today is the minimum. Being chosen is the real achievement.

Audiences no longer simply seek information — they seek reliable reference points. In this context, credibility, narrative coherence, and brand recognizability are the new currencies of visibility.

This is the great transformation we will explore on stage at Intersection 2025: how trust, identity, and technology can coexist, and how co-intelligence between people and systems is changing — definitively — the way media operate.

But trust and identity — and, as a consequence, traffic — do not arise by chance. They are the result of structured work, of a methodology that starts from the internal awareness of each organization, whether it is a publisher, a company, or a content creator.

An awareness that must engage every level of the organization, from top management to those who every day create content, manage data, or communicate with the audience.

The journey that accompanies this transformation requires tools, analysis, data interpretation, and above all working methods capable of integrating people, processes, and technology. This is precisely the terrain on which we operate: we help organizations build that awareness and translate it into measurable results.

Those who have already embarked on this path with us are seeing the results: more agile structures, clearer strategies, better-informed decisions. Those who continue to postpone often realize too late that opportunities are fading — and that competitive advantage is not recovered with a technical update, but with a culture of change.

Frequently asked questions

Being visible today is the minimum: the real achievement is being chosen. Credibility, narrative coherence, and brand recognizability are the new currencies of visibility.

The increasingly close collaboration between people and AI systems: artificial intelligence does not replace the human role but amplifies it, making processes and strategies faster and more effective.

Because the proliferation of speculative content has made traffic an insufficient indicator: Google rewards those with a solid editorial brand and a genuine connection with their audience.

No longer: it has become a discipline of reputation — a constant effort of credibility, coherence, and trust, not a set of tactical adjustments.

From structured work and a methodology that engages every level of the organization, integrating people, processes, and technology to generate measurable results.
