Alex Fink on Founding Otherweb: Using AI to Curate High-Quality News and Combat Online Misinformation

Alex Fink is the founder and CEO of Otherweb, a public benefit corporation that provides an AI-based platform to help people consume high-quality information without junk like clickbait, ads, paywalls, or misinformation.
