“AI News That’s Fit to Print” With Zach Seward of the New York Times

April 8, 2024 | Noon to 2 p.m.

Zach Seward, editorial director of AI Initiatives at The New York Times, joined journalists and students for an Ethics & Journalism "Lunch & Learn" session to discuss how news organizations are "using AI in both supremely dumb and incredibly smart ways -- and lessons we can draw from both types of examples that illuminate the most ethical and effective applications for journalism." This event occurred on April 8, and you may read a recap and view the slides.
