AI tools for journalists, with Chris Stokel-Walker

Описание: Learn how to use artificial intelligence to work faster, dig deeper and tell stories more effectively

From transcription and summarisation to story discovery, infographic generation and audience engagement, artificial intelligence is reshaping how journalists research, report and publish their work.

In this free masterclass, we explore the growing range of AI-powered tools that can help journalists work more efficiently, think more creatively and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving media landscape. We look at practical ways to use these tools to support (not replace) the core values of responsible, ethical journalism.

Our speaker for this masterclass is Dr Chris Stokel-Walker, a journalist and author who reports on technology and digital culture for The Guardian, Wired, New Scientist, The Times, the BBC and others. Chris is the author of TikTok Boom, YouTubers, and most recently How AI Ate the World – a timely, accessible guide to how artificial intelligence is transforming our lives, industries and information ecosystems. He is a sought-after commentator and trainer on the intersection of journalism, technology and platform power. Chris is also our friend and colleague here at Newcastle University!
