On Thursday, March 26, the Humanities Council’s Program in Journalism and the Princeton Center for Information Technology Policy (CITP) will present “AI x Journalism: Transforming the News.” The public event will be held in the Chancellor Green Rotunda at 4:30 p.m.
AI is already reshaping newsgathering, audience engagement, and the dissemination of fact-based journalism. In this panel discussion, experts will examine how AI is impacting every aspect of the field – from national outlets to small local newsrooms – and its effect on data analysis, gathering and checking facts, source security, and more.
Panelists include Emmy Award-winning reporter and CITP fellow Hilke Schellmann; Madelyne Xiao, CITP graduate student and former fact-checker for The New Yorker; Dylan Freedman, machine-learning engineer and journalist at The New York Times; and Anjanette Delgado, Group Manager Editor for the Hearst Connecticut Media Group.
“Nothing could be more critical at this time than understanding the massive disruption and influence of AI on journalism,” said Eliza Griswold, director of the program and professor of the practice. “Yet alongside cautionary tales, there are tools here for journalists that our students are more than capable of learning and advancing.”
Griswold will moderate the panel, which is presented in collaboration with the Princeton Humanities Initiative.
