AI in the newsroom:
The ethical approach

Every journalist wants their audience to trust them. In return the audience expects accuracy, fairness and impartiality. With artificial intelligence things can get tricky if you’re not prepared. AI-tools can benefit newsrooms but they come at a cost. If you don’t have the right policies in place, you could face reputational and legal problems and lose audience trust. This course will show you how to avoid those pitfalls and take the ethical approach when it comes to AI in the newsroom.
