Journalism's Increasing use of Artificial Intelligence Apr 03, 2019

Show notes

Reuters, the Associated Press and The Washington Post have all added artificial intelligence to their news gathering and reporting processes over the last few years. In 2016, the Post produced 850 articles using its Heliograf system, including 500 on the Presidential Election. AI is credited with being helpful when it comes to fact checking and being more efficient. However, critics say the move to these robot reporters sometimes comes at the expense of real journalists and causes layoffs in the newsroom. Is A-I the future of journalism? Host Dan Loney discusses the uses of AI in journalism with Meredith Broussard, an assistant professor at New York University's Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, and Seth Lewis, a chair in Emerging Media at the University of Oregon's School of Journalism and Communication, on Knowledge@Wharton.

A Human's Guide to Machine Intelligence Mar 27, 2019

Show notes

Whether or not we realize it, algorithms have taken over a big part of our lives. This technology is embedded in every major tech platform and web-enabled device we come in contact with, and influences the everyday decisions we make: what we buy, where we eat, whom we date, how we work, and more. Host Dan Loney talks with Kartik Hosanagar, Professor of Technology and Digital Business, and Marketing, at the Wharton School, to discuss his new book, A Human’s Guide to Machine Intelligence: How Algorithms Are Shaping Our Lives and How We Can Stay In Control. Kartik's research demonstrates that instead of surrendering ourselves to this world of algorithmic decision-making, we need to arm ourselves with a better, deeper and a more nuanced understanding of it. Find out more about his new book on this episode of Knowledge@Wharton.
