Please join us for a Lunch & Learn session with Zach Seward, editorial director of AI Initiatives at the New York Times.

Seward will share 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.”

At the New York Times, Seward leads a team responsible for new forms of journalism made possible by artificial intelligence. Previously, he was a co-founder of the business news organization Quartz, where he held various leadership roles, including chief product officer, editor in chief, and CEO, over more than a decade. He has also worked at The Wall Street Journal and Harvard’s Nieman Journalism Lab.

The session, including a light lunch, is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
