Alternative Futures in the GenAI era

A new global survey demonstrates how AI has worked its way into the news business, even as journalists worry about its implications!

The report was published by Journalism AI, an initiative from Polis, the London School of Economics and Political Science’s journalism think tank. It is supported by the Google News Initiative.

>> The results show that 90% newsrooms are using some form of AI in news production, 80% in news distribution, 75% in news gathering.

>> At the same time, 60%+ are concerned about the ethical implications of AI integration in terms of editorial quality and other aspects of journalism such as accuracy, fairness, and transparency.

“Generating Change: A global survey of what news organizations are doing with artificial intelligence” includes the perspective of more than 120 editors, journalists, technologies and mediamakers from 105 small and large newsrooms across 46 countries.

Listen to Global Futurist Steve Wells‘ Informing Choices minipod as he invited me along with futurists Rob Tyrie and Gina Clifford to discuss Alternative Futures in the Generative AI era.
