NEXT IA focuses on creating structures that align human mental models, semantic integrity, and governance for intelligent agents. This new approach calls for a cross-disciplinary community to design and manage complex information flows in the modern AI landscape. *(Summarized by Ghostreader)* ## Significance > [!bot-text] > If you're wondering where information architecture goes once AI agents do much of the navigating, this is a good place to start. Sweeny argues that IA's classic focus on human wayfinding is no longer enough — the structures we build also need to serve machine readers, with semantic integrity and governance doing the heavy lifting. Read it as a provocation about the discipline's next chapter rather than a settled framework. ## Claims & insights Claims that cite this summary (claims link here via `source`): ![[Summary - Manifesto for Next Information Architecture (Publish - Claims)]] ## Related summaries Summaries that point at the same concepts: ![[Summary - Manifesto for Next Information Architecture (Publish - Related)]]
