Generative AI has already begun to reshape the news industry — from the power it offers newsrooms to accelerate newsgathering, production and distribution to the threats it poses via disseminating dis- and misinformation and to cybersecurity and data protection.
Four news industry leaders — a news executive, technologist, cybersecurity expert and news ethicist — will examine a trio of gen AI scenarios already turning up in newsrooms in a workshop-style panel, Scenes from a Gen-AI Enabled Newsroom, co-presented by RTDNA at TVNewsCheck’s 11th annual NewsTECHForum conference on Dec. 17 at the New York Hilton.
Paul Capizzi, CIO and SVP of enterprise technology, Fox Corp., Fox News and Fox Television Stations; Gina Chua, executive editor, Semafor; Aimee Rhinehart, senior product manager, AI Strategy, AP; and Kyle Plantz, senior program manager, Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY, will join moderator Michael Depp, editor of TVNewsCheck, for the session.
“This panel is an extraordinary opportunity to bring together four leaders from wholly different news organizations and vantage points and unpack their thinking on critical gen AI-oriented scenarios already beginning to impact newsrooms,” Depp said. “We’ll present situations involving content versioning and AI-assisted news content creation; gen AI’s weaponization to propagate disinformation; and the prospective use of AI avatars and synthetic anchors for video and audio content.
“This will be a chance for attendees to calibrate their own gen AI news protocols with our experts in a rare cross-industry conversation,” Depp noted. “There will be plenty to bring back to their own company-wide AI working groups
