For what purposes and how do Swiss news organizations already use AI? What does this mean for journalistic work processes? What conflicts may arise within news organizations with the implementation of new technologies and how can you bring journalists on board?
These and other interesting and pressing questions were the focus of three guest lectures as part of the lecture «News in the Age of Algorithms and AI» by Prof. Dr. Sina Blassnig. Konrad Weber (Strategy Consultant), Nadia Kohler (Head of AI, Tamedia), and Lukas Görög (AI Consultant at NZZ) provided the students with valuable real-world insights into the complexities of integrating algorithmic and AI technologies into journalistic practice.
