For this episode of Double Take, CMT Research Fellow Dr Michael Davis speaks to Professor Charlie Beckett, the founding director of Polis at the London School of Economics--a thinktank for research and debate around international journalism and society.
Charlie is leading the JournalismAI project, a global initiative encouraging the responsible adoption of AI in news organisations, and capacity building in all newsrooms to counter inequalities. With the support of the Google News Initiative, JournalismAI has just released a global survey of what news organisations are doing with AI. Charlie was also Lead Commissioner for the LSE Truth, Trust & Technology Commission, which set out to identify the causes of media misinformation and develop a new policy framework.
In this episode, we’re talking about the risks and opportunities generative AI brings to news organisations around the world, including the kind of moral panic generative AI has stirred up. Listen in here.
