In this episode of “The Poynter Report Podcast,” host Tom Jones talks with Poynter’s Alex Mahadevan, director of MediaWise, Poynter faculty member and and co-author of Poynter’s AI ethics guide, about how artificial intelligence is reshaping journalism.
Alex breaks down the fear, hype and very real challenges AI presents for reporters, editors and audiences alike. They explore everything from deepfakes and disinformation to AI-written news summaries and the ethical paradox of transparency. Can AI help expand coverage in news deserts? Will audiences trust stories disclosed as AI-assisted? And what skills will matter most in a newsroom powered by automation?
Tune in for an honest, practical and perhaps surprising conversation about journalism’s AI-infused future.
