We have witnessed the first wave of artificial intelligence (AI) in journalism in the form of chatbots, automated story generation, and machine learning techniques applied to news. The big tech companies have pushed AI to the center of their product strategies. How far along is the news business in incorporating these tools into the newsroom, and understanding the broad implications for journalism?
At this event, we will examine how real examples of AI have been used in news, and what we can expect in the near future. We will discuss the importance of this growing field and identify priorities for data journalists, researchers, investigative reporters, and newsrooms.
Join Columbia University’s Tow Center for Digital Journalism and Brown Institute for Media Innovation on June 13 for an afternoon conference on Artificial Intelligence: Practice and Implications for Journalism. Panels will feature journalists, technologists, lawyers and ethicists who will present and discuss state of the art applications, challenges and legal implications of AI implementation in newsrooms.
