The AI Journalism Lab, at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY, supported by Microsoft, has been a unique sandbox where participants push the boundaries of generative AI. At this showcase, they will share 5-minute presentations about the Capstone Projects — real-world applications of AI that are redefining the future of journalism — that they worked on over the last 6 months.
You’ll discover fresh, innovative solutions addressing real newsroom challenges, all through the lens of global perspectives from our diverse cohort of participants and thought leaders. This free, virtual event is designed to inspire and show AI innovation in action.
We’ve added more presenters to our event, so come check out how they are approaching AI in their work.
