The Future of Journalism: Risks, Opportunities, and Ethics of inviting Generative AI in the Newsroom

It’s always a pleasure to welcome journalist colleagues from Europe to California!

🌟 We just had an incredible day of workshops with journalists from Norway, digging into the future of #Journalism. We met at #Hanahaus in Palo Alto, in the heart of Silicon Valley. Together we explored and pondered how AI tools are bringing novel opportunities, potential risks, and new responsibilities.

Thank you so much, Ståle De Lange Kofoed, for the renewed collaboration. It was a true honor to work with such an amazing team of talented, responsible, and empathetic leaders! 🙌🔥

🔍The day was packed with hands-on activities, mind-twisting debates, and futures envisioning!

Over the course of the day, we investigated many aspects of #GenerativeAI in the #Newsroom:
– Beyond the hype, what is at stake for journalists
– Google AI vs. Journalists: a macro-phenomenon
– The New York Times vs. OpenAI saga
– Scraping journalists’ work and Publishers response strategies
– Authorship and #Copyright: Unlicensed content in training data, Copyright Infringement, Ownership of AI-Generated Works
– The notion of Fair Use in the AI era
– Bias in Input, Bias in Output
– Amplification, Larsen Effect, and Generative Inbreeding
– Deepfakes and Fake News
– Truth management: AI detectors, The Liar’s dividend
– The End of Writing
– The Case for Translation
– Human-AI: Collaboration vs. Substitution?
– Rethinking the Journalistic process
– AI Guidelines and Ethics
– Envisioning the Future of News Reporting
– Roadmap to the Future: Taking action now…
– Building Future-ready #Leadership!
