Two Internet Veterans Buy Digg, Betting on AI to Revive It

Kevin Rose and Alexis Ohanian, who built two of the web's earliest news platforms, have purchased Digg for an undisclosed price. The pair plan to use artificial intelligence—software that learns to predict what people want to read—to compete against larger social media platforms. Digg, once a major news hub, struggled after it changed how it sorted stories. This partnership represents a bet that smarter curation can bring it back.
