Discussing the 'controlled change' of AI in newsrooms
An insightful talk by Tomás Dodds, an assistant professor in Journalism and New Media at Leiden University in the Netherlands. He talks about the emerging attitudes around the use of AI in newsrooms, based on a year-long project interviewing working journalists.
His chief concern is that long-established newsroom silos -- different parts of the org having varied skills that don't meet in the middle -- will complicate the successful adoption of ethical AI use in the journalistic process.
