AI on the Newsroom Floor: A Transformation as Disruptive as Social Media?

The integration of artificial intelligence into newsroom operations is transforming journalism in ways comparable to the rise of the Internet and social media. Rolling out new and experimental technologies in large news organizations presents unique challenges, including scalability, staff training, and maintaining editorial integrity. Are we poised to overcome these hurdles and harness AI’s full potential? This webinar will explore the current use of AI in newsrooms, its benefits and challenges, and the ethical considerations it brings, addressing key questions about the future of journalism in the AI era.

Hear from Laurens Vreekamp, successful Author on AI, researcher and moderator of our AI Unlocked program, and from Ritvvij Parrikh, Senior Director Product – Business Ops using AI at Times Internet in India.

About the program:

AI will be crucial for our industry. The vast possibilities and risks include a long list of topics and areas. Just think of Content Creation and Generation, Automated Journalism, Personalized Content Delivery and Data Analysis and Insights. Fact-Checking and Verification. Or consider Language Translation, Enhanced Search and Discovery, Automation of Repetitive Tasks, Predictive Analytics and Efficient Resource Allocation.

But where should publishers start or on which area should they focus first? What resources do you need to make progress? Which path is taking and which is not? WAN-IFRA and FATHM will support you with a new program. “AI Unlocked” will guide you through the maze of AI possibilities. Virtual sessions with experts and a profound workshop at WAN-IFRA’s World News Media Congress in Copenhagen in May are the starting offer. In parallel, we will build an AI community for discussion, knowledge exchange and shared projects.
