- Media traffic may decline, but new models like subscriptions or microtransactions could sustain journalism and content creation.

- Advertising will transform as AI agents mediate user interactions instead of humans.
- Ads might become services offering trusted info rather than direct pitches to consumers.

- AI companies should legally purchase training data, mirroring a balanced approach to copyright and AI.
