Journalism and AI

The AEJ UK will host a discussion on journalism and artificial intelligence on 1 December.

Charlie Beckett is director of the London School of Economics JournalismAI Project to assist news organisations internationally in using AI responsibly and founder and director of Polis, an institute for research on international journalism and society.
He will provide an up-to-date analysis of where the UK and EU are with legislation on AI especially relating to journalism, and the regulation of AI in relation to misinformation and transparency of sources.

Dominic Ponsford is Editor-in-Chief of Press Gazette. He will speak about the challenges facing journalists when confronted with AI generated content, including the creation of fake (non-existent) experts. He has led a major investigation into this and has some shocking evidence of how major media organisations have been deceived.

This lunchtime meeting at St Anne’s Church Soho Community Hall is open to journalists, academics and Europe specialists and their guests. To register for the meeting and more information please email AEJ UK Secretary Charles Jenkins cas.jenkins@gmail.com
