Lucky Gunasekara is a media technologist and founder working at the intersection of news, artificial intelligence, and open digital infrastructure. He leads Miso.ai, an AI media lab partnering with more than 50 publishers globally to explore how the shift toward “liquid media” — adaptive, modular, and machine-readable content — is transforming the engagement, distribution, and revenue models of news.

Through this work, he examines how existing media value chains are being eroded by extractive and opaque uses of AI, and how they might be rebuilt in the public interest. His current focus is on how autonomous agents, open-source models, and interoperable web standards could enable new forms of media products, sustainable economics, and institutional resilience in an increasingly agentic media ecosystem.
