The filter bubble is morphing into something new — the agentic interface era

In his August “Innovation in Practice” op-ed, Chad Davis — chief innovation strategist at Nebraska Public Media and E&P columnist — explores what comes after the “filter bubble.” How will artificial intelligence usher in a new era of algorithm-driven information consumption? Drawing insights from Eli Pariser’s latest work, Davis examines the rise of agentic interfaces, the challenges AI poses for journalism, and why news organizations must rethink how they build trust and reach audiences in an increasingly AI-mediated world.
