In this interactive workshop designed for both technical and non-technical participants, you'll learn everything you need to know about building and implementing AI solutions for newsrooms. Drawing from real-world experience implementing AI at Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa), Germany's largest news agency, this session will show you how AI can enhance newsroom capabilities while maintaining journalistic standards. You'll learn about AI agents, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and how these technologies can be effectively integrated into news organizations - from research tools to fact-checking systems. The workshop will share practical insights from dpa's successful implementation. No technical background is required.
