Artificial Intelligence in Journalism

The NCTJ's Artificial Intelligence in Journalism event is for journalists and journalism trainers who are keen to take advantage of the opportunities provided by generative AI but are also mindful about the implications to trusted journalism and quality standards.

Artificial intelligence is starting to have a big impact on the journalism and news industry.

Many media employers are intrigued about AI and think it will be increasingly used in the coming years. They are developing their strategies and understanding around how AI can be harnessed to assist and empower journalists, changing and improving workflows for the better.

The NCTJ’s Artificial Intelligence in Journalism event is for journalists and journalism trainers who are keen to take advantage of the opportunities provided by generative AI but are also mindful about the implications to trusted journalism and quality standards.

It will be followed by Christmas drinks with the NCTJ.
