    Will the use of artificial intelligence save journalism, be the end of news as we know it, or live somewhere in between? Francesco Marconi, who has led the development of the Associated Press and Wall Street Journal’s use of AI in journalism, offers a practical perspective on the potential of these technologies.

    Join the National Press Club Journalism Institute and the National Press Club’s communicators team for a program featuring Marconi, who will explain how journalists and communication professionals can avoid pitfalls while taking advantage of the possibilities AI provides to develop new ways of telling stories and connecting with audiences.

    Registration is now open for this program, which will take place online from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. ET on Friday, March 26, 2021. The Institute has waived fees for all of its services due to the pandemic, saving participants tens of thousands of dollars. In that spirit, we ask you to consider making a donation to support programs like this one.

    Participants will learn:

    • How AI is being used and will be used by journalists and communicators, and what that means for how we work
    • The ethics of AI, particularly related to diversity, equity and representation
    • The role of AI in the spread of misinformation and ‘fake news’
