Journalism challenges in the face of AI to be discussed in Holguín
Apunto, conceived as an event for dialogue and reflection, proposes on this occasion to exchange on the challenges of Journalism in the face of Artificial Intelligence (AI), in a context whose opportunities speed up the work and leave on the table concerns about ethics, responsibility, neutrality and truthfulness.
Rojas stressed that the variety of issues to be addressed will allow collective enrichment, from different perspectives, but aligned in the common purpose of achieving revolutionary changes in education and the profession.
At the beginning of the day’s activities, the Holguin Technological Center hosted the specialized panel, with the presentation of lectures, which addressed the main computer tools provided by AI, its development possibilities in journalism and audiovisual production.
Artificial Intelligence (AI), the future of journalism
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here to stay in newsrooms. For some years now, few in fact, the media have been exploring the different possibilities of using this tool. Although it is not new, it has increasingly more space in journalistic tasks that previously demanded a significant amount of time from the reporter and that, thanks to the development of algorithms that automate tasks, it is possible to do more agile.
