Jon Accarrino’s Post

Great article by Jon Accarrino about people warming up to AI news. It reminds me of how I'm always describing AI news like a self-driving car 🚗. You don't get into your brand new self-driving car and then go to sleep during your first trip to work. Instead, you get to know when and where you can take your hands off the wheel. You get to know which parts of your commute the car handles perfectly every day. But more importantly, you get to know when and where you need to put your hands back on the wheel. This concept of "getting to know your AI" is not new, George Hotz has been saying this for years at comma.ai. Get to know your AI 🤖. Heck, same concept applies for google searches. At this point, we are all so familiar with google that we have a good idea of what we can and can't find, before we even type our keywords in. We know what we can and can't trust when we see the list of results. Get to know your tools 🛠️. AI news is no different :) Get to know your news provider - hopefully they are using transparency techniques to help you put your hands back on the wheel. Get to know your news provider 🗞. At AskNews.app, we are committed to transparency from top to bottom. We are frequently presenting our methods and open-source software in the public domain. Our news articles are filled with citations and summaries to help you track facts down if you want to put your hands on the wheel. Don't believe us? Good. Then you are the type of person who would benefit from having transparency at your finger tips 🪟.

How is #GenAI impacting modern #journalism?🦾💪🏻 Great question - thanks FleishmanHillard for asking it and inviting me to a recent talk in NYC to dig into this topic. Senior leaders at ADWEEK, Axios, Business Insider, Harvard Business Review and POLITICO shared that today’s newsrooms are integrating AI to complement the core human elements of journalism - but #transparency and #trust are everything. Here’s how the experts are approaching this: 👁 Continue to be 💯 percent transparent about how AI is being used to enhance storytelling strategies 🖇 Always couple AI with human intelligence 🕸 Ensure training, processes, guardrails and ethical considerations remain at the forefront A few examples of how newsrooms are putting GenAI to work: headline generation, transcribing podcasts, helping with research, summarizing complex reports or bills / itemizing content, digesting meeting notes or building decks. ..sounds a lot like how my team and our agency partners are using GenAI - what about you? Share your experiences and tips below👇🏻

AI is a great tool, but where do we draw the line as PRs? 🤔 For me, it’s when it starts to replace real conversations between us and the media. If journalists value one thing, it’s trust. And with more AI generated stories than ever coming from newsrooms, reliable sources like PRs become even more valuable 🤝 PRmoment asked team tigerbond to give our thoughts on the topic and I was delighted to share my insight having been on the ~ other ~ side of the newsdesk.

Kara Swisher on Journalism's Battle with AI and Big Tech In a candid interview with TheStreet, veteran journalist Kara Swisher, author of "Burn Book," discusses the existential challenges journalism faces due to the rise of AI and big tech. Swisher asserts it's "too late" for traditional media to surpass tech giants in technological prowess, highlighting a dire need for the media industry to innovate or face obsolescence. Despite tech advancements like AI threatening traditional media roles, Swisher believes there's still room for journalism to adapt and thrive by leveraging new tools rather than competing directly with them. She emphasizes the importance of media embracing a nimble, tech-savvy approach to survive the digital transformation era. The conversation also touches on narrative economics and the impact of storytelling on tech valuations, underscoring the ongoing interplay between media narratives and tech industry dynamics. #DigitalTransformation #MediaInnovation #KaraSwisher #Journalism #AI https://lnkd.in/dg7zidg2

Interesting take on the implications of AI-generated journalism. When you remove concerns about inaccuracy and “hallucinations”, and the quality and nature of the output matches the human product, you either have to accept that the machines win or focus on elevating the art. #ai #sports #journalism
