If your newsroom isn’t experimenting with AI already, you’re probably thinking about it. ChatGPT is often the first stop for those jumping into the intersections of AI and journalism. We are excited to gather a panel of industry leaders at the 2023 Online News Association Conference in Philadelphia (#ONA23) to get into the real nuts and bolts.
In the featured session ChatGPT, Seriously: Real, (Mostly) Non-Cringey Uses That Make Journalism Better, we will hear about its capabilities and limits for deep investigative work, as opposed to formulaic tasks. We will also discuss the ethics of using generative AI tools.
Learn from this featured conversation on Saturday, Aug. 26, 2:30 p.m. Our featured experts are:
- Andrew Rodriguez Calderón, Computational Journalist, The Marshall Project
- Mark Hansen, Professor, Columbia School of Journalism
- Gideon Lichfield, Editor-in-Chief, WIRED
- Sisi Wei, Editor-in-Chief, The Markup
