Miso.ai partners with over 150 media websites globally, helping them harness AI as a leapfrog technology to transform how readers discover, engage with, and value high-quality journalism and research.

At the heart of Miso.ai’s mission is a commitment to strengthening media businesses—not displacing them. While the lab is unlocking immediate, high-impact applications of AI to drive audience growth and revenue, they are also leading research on the critical risks AI poses to media—particularly the ways large tech platforms, in their pursuit of AI, scrape content, disintermediate publishers, and erode value. He leads both product design and research at Miso, where his team actively prototype legal, policy, and technical frameworks to realign AI’s future with the sustainability of journalism and publishing.
