- The media ecosystem is flooded with AI-related news, covering various sectors like finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail, often rebranding existing tools as AI-powered.
- Journalists are inundated with pitches that lack differentiation, resulting in many companies being overlooked or receiving a pass on their pitches.
- Tech giants like OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Meta dominate media coverage due to their resources, investments, and headline-grabbing initiatives.

- In the AI gold rush, attention is given to vendors offering genuine, differentiated impact, emphasizing the shift from volume to value in media coverage.
