    Among other things, Kelly says news organizations should brace themselves for a society built on sophisticated filtering, ubiquitous artificial intelligence, constant remixing, extreme sharing and a disruption of current advertising models.

    Additional information:

    Kelly presents his vision of what the future may hold in his latest book, “The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future,” which is set for release in June and can be preordered on Amazon.
