ABOUT ARIKIA MILLIKAN
My path wasn\'t exactly linear, but my experience as a journalist gave me a unique perspective on what\'s broken in the media industry, and my background in science and engineering equipped me with the technical know-how to fix it.I\'ve seen the media landscape from all angles — as a writer, editor, strategist, and publisher — and have experienced firsthand how traditional media models are failing both creators and consumers. Each role has shown me different pieces of the puzzle, and now I\'m putting them all together.As the founder of CTRL+X, a media technology company creating new systems to empower journalists, I’m passionate about decentralized publishing solutions, the ethical training of AI, and technology that fortifies the digital rights of creators.At CTRL+X, we’re harnessing the power of Web3 to create a more equitable, transparent, and sustainable future for the digital media industry. We\'re leveraging blockchain technology to transform how journalistic content is created, owned, and monetized. It\'s not just about creating new technology – it\'s about redesigning the entire digital media ecosystem.My writing has appeared in WIRED, VICE, The Verge, The Atlantic, Psychology Today, and more. I have been invited to speak at numerous conferences and symposiums, most notably: DEFCON, re:publica, the Sage Assembly, IgniteNYC, MyData, and Data Natives.
