LIFE WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND AI

Undermining the Public's Trust

AI Imagery such as deepfakes, I firmly believe both undermine the public's trust and also take credibility away from the public's trust. Based on many of the journalistic integrity principles I have learned from throughout my time at Elon. Though tools such as data wrapper and diagram.io will be extremely beneficial for people in newsrooms who are data, enterprise, and investigative centric, I feel, as the Associated Press says that 20% (in my opinion preferably more) should be done by humans.

Best Practices Going Forward for Regulating Artificial Intelligence

With over approximately 2,000 new AI tools and platforms come out on a monthly basis, to me it seems that there is no possible way that 1 individual, government or regulatory organization could possibly be able to keep up with and keep track of what is good or bad from a utilitarianism perspective.

The history of data journalism

The history of data journalism

CAR | DDJ masters curriculum for reporters in the Balkans & Turkey

Privileged to have worked on a meaningful #datajournalism educational project, alongside the wonderful and inspiring Sheila Coronel, for the Centre for Media, Data and Society at the Central European University and the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network - we set out to create a #curriculum targeting mainly journalists from the #Balkans and Turkey, based on the best practices worldwide, but shaped in a way that allows any university to adopt and implement it. This project is funded by EuropeAid/European Commission through its Regional Training and Support Program to Improve Quality and Professionalism in Journalism. Here’s the link to the landing page, where you can also download the curriculum freely: https://cmds.ceu.edu/article/2021-11-12/cmds-develops-model-curriculum-masters-degree-investigative-journalism-western

"With the proliferation of available data, it’s become more common for newsrooms to have access to datasets that contain more story leads than they can meaningfully pursue themselves. Collaborative data journalism allows multiple newsrooms to find and tell those stories, make the most out of large datasets and, ultimately, increase the chances that their work will have impact."
