Part of my interest in AI centers on the way it is presented in online, print and broadcast media. Another focal point for me is how journalism organizations are using<\/em> AI to do journalism work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the London School of Economics, a project named JournalismAI<\/a> mirrors my interests. In November 2019 they published a report<\/a> on a survey of 71 news organizations in 32 countries. They describe the report as “an introduction to and discussion of journalism and AI.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people in journalism are aware of the use of automation<\/em> in producing stories on financial reports, sports, and real estate. Other applications of AI (mostly machine learning) are less well known \u2014 and they are numerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s fascinating to open the links in the case studies and discover the innovative projects under way at so many news organizations. Journalism educators (like me) need to keep an eye on these developments to help us prepare journalism students for the future of our field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
