Media Literacy, AI & Journalism: the Challenges and Opportunities

Artificial Intelligence has led journalists to question how they’ll report. While the benefits of AI include simplifying complex topics and assisting with questions for interviews, many find it can’t always be trusted.

At this event presented in partnership with the Center for Communication, experts in the field from SmartNews, The Information, The Center for Public Integrity, Vanity Fair and more discuss how journalists can use artificial intelligence as a resource, while also being mindful of its limitations.

This event will take place in person at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library on the 7th Floor. Learn more about the event here.
