I'm currently following 3/4 YouTube channels on this Topic, each one with its own core theme: Two Minute Papers (Dr. Károly Zsolnai-Fehér, English), Enkk (Enrico Mensa, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Turin, Italian), Simone Rizzo (Prof. University of Bologna, Italian), and Raffaele Gaito (It's a lighter approach to AI, compared to the previous Channels, Italian). I also follow other channels but none worth mentioning here, since you probably already heard of them.

Then, I occasionally ask Gemini, Claude or Perplexity to do a deep research about Latest AI News, and make a Brief for me. I'm considering making this a daily automatic routine, so I can get this kind of content once a day.

I've noticed that on Reddit news seems to arrive sooner than on other platforms. I follow almost only AI Related Subreddits, and in this way, often I discover news at least a few days before they come out also on other platforms, even YouTube. This surprised me, in the beginning, but now I'm used to this speed of news acknowledgment. When I want to check on the AI news, I just need to open Reddit and refresh my feed.

Also, real interest and curiosity helps in this field, as keeping up with news otherwise seems more like a job than a pleasure. I work with and on AI Agents every day, and it's one of my biggest passions, so I enjoy the "keep-up" process.

In the end, keep in mind that you can't really keep up with All AI news out there, you need to filter what you're really interested in, and try to keep up with it. You don't really need to know every AI news, just the few that touches what you will use and need.

n8n pipeline that scrapes industry sources daily, uses an LLM to score each story according to how relevant it is to my particular focus of interest, and sends me a weekly digest on Friday mornings. Could probably do something similar with OpenClaw or scheduled Claude tasks or a bunch of other ways pretty easily.

General old-school way of not being overwhelmed by tech news: just picking stuff up when I need it to solve a real problem. News in general: is it genuinely improving your life to spend time on consuming it? If you cannot name concrete life improvements, cut it out entirely.
