Syllabus for Artificial Intelligence and Journalism
Greetings, friends, I am putting together an undergraduate class, or at least a sizable module, on artificial intelligence and journalism. My goal is two-fold: At the very least, I want to prepare journalism students to be able to report upon the current and future social impact of AI. Ideally, I would like journalism students to be prepared to help anticipate, influence and shape the intersection of AI and journalism. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts on books, articles, links and resources that you think might be useful. With thanks and best wishes.

Hi Jack -- I recommend the report on AI, journalism, and freedom of expression that my colleague, David Kaye, recently delivered to the U.N. General Assembly as Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression and Opinion. You can find the report here [3]. As a bonus, if you want in-class or after class AV material, you can watch his testimony here [4] (starting at about 1:02). There is also a good Twitter summary of the result here https://twitter.com/aainaagarwal_/status/1054521615738982402 Cheers, DLB On 2018-11-03 04:32, Jack Lule wrote:
