09:00 am–10:00 am | ROBOTS AMONG US: A Revealing Look at WBUR’s Collaborative Process for Developing Generative AI Guidelines
As Kelly McBride recently wrote for Poynter: the best ethical standards in journalism have always encouraged pushing forward, getting the information out and finding the best way to serve the public. It’s time for every newsroom to apply that approach to artificial intelligence.
In this 60-minute discussion, you’ll hear from members of WBUR’s AI task force about their research, exploration and collaboration spanning the past six months in pursuit of developing the organization’s first set of GAI guidelines. These real-life human journalists – not robots – promise to pull back the curtain to share behind-the-scenes details about their processes around discovery and implementation so that you can be better equipped to deepen the understanding across your own newsroom of the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
Presenters:
Dan Mauzy, Executive Editor, News, WBUR
