Join the Walkley Public Fund for the second of a free 8-part webinar series on AI and journalism.
Each session will provide an overview of a specific area of journalism, explore opportunities and risks, and provide a practical activity or question about implementation to try out as homework. Participants will be invited to post their work to a closed forum for feedback from your trainer. You can also provide constructive feedback to homework posted by others.
This webinar will focus on AI for print and online text journalists. What opportunities do tools like ChatGPT offer and how can they help you do your job? What problems or risks do you need to be aware of?
Trainer: Dr James Meese, Senior Lecturer at RMIT University. James is part of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making & Society (ADM+S), contributing to projects across the News and Media focus area.
