As artificial intelligence transforms how information is created, distributed, and consumed, newsrooms face fundamental questions about the future of journalism. This panel brings together leading voices in AI research and journalism to explore this rapidly evolving landscape with a focus on AI’s impact on productivity in newsrooms. Dr. Richard Socher, a pioneer in AI and one of the most cited researchers in natural language processing, will share insights on AI's trajectory and its implications for media. The discussion will examine how news organizations can thoughtfully integrate AI technologies while maintaining editorial standards, ethics, and journalistic integrity. Panelists will address key questions about accuracy in an AI age, productivity gains, the changing relationship between newsrooms and technology like AI agents, and how journalism might evolve alongside these powerful new tools while staying true to its core mission of serving the public interest.
