Why More Information Isn’t Always Better
In a time when access to information is easier than ever, the real challenge is not more data — it’s understanding what matters. This article looks at how AI can deepen information overload and why discernment matters more than volume.

This involves redefining filtering to reduce unnecessary noise, encouraging employees to ask better questions, and teaching them to evaluate AI-generated content based on credibility, context, and connection. Additionally, taking breaks from information overload and building organizational habits that manage information flow can boost clarity and curiosity.
