AI isn’t black or white—it’s all about the nuances. But too often, the debate is extreme:
⚡ “Revolutionize everything!”
⚠️ “Shut it all down!”

Truth? AI is a tool—powerful, flawed, evolving. We need real discussions, not just hype or fear.

What AI nuance do we overlook most? 👇 #AI #TechEthics

Who controls the public debate? Have we handed it over to Big Tech, or do we still have a say?

New research by Jannie Møller Hartley (Roskilde University) shows that data & algorithms increasingly shape our conversations. What does that mean for democracy?

Den offentlige samtale styres i stigende grad af data og dem, som ejer algoritmerne

Sociale medier bliver kritiseret for at skabe ekkokamre, men alligevel bruger de traditionelle medier algoritmer, der minder om de sociale mediers. Det risikerer at påvirke den demokratiske samtale, l...

Tried the "Deep Research" feature with a simple (let’s be honest, bad) prompt: "How is generative AI used in journalism and media?"

In 4 mins, it created a 7-page doc: structured plan, examples, ethics, potentials + clickable sources.

AI in journalism: Should we stick to faster processes and efficiency, or aim for higher quality and real value in 2025?

Efficiency is great, but quality builds trust. Can AI help us raise the bar instead of just cutting corners? How do we balance speed and depth?

AI-generated images in the news are becoming a challenge. Monday Danish TV 2 used one by mistake, and it’s not the first time we’ve seen this.

With fake content so easy to create, how can media maintain trust? And can they keep up?

OpenAI’s holiday rollout is wild: o1 is now fully here (and looking impressive!), but they also dropped a new ChatGPT Pro plan at $200/month. 🤯

Mattia Peretti challenges journalism to rethink AI: less tech obsession, more human connection. News must shift from just creating content to serving communities. Trust won’t return until audiences are truly at the center. #AI #Journalism

This! If we’re not starting with what people actually need, then what’s the point? AI should help us serve audiences better, not just game algorithms or amplify outrage. It’s frustrating to see the focus stuck on tactics instead of genuine connection to and value for the audience.

I'm at a news industry conference rn & I am ANGRY.
I've now heard six people talk about the impact of AI and how to adapt. They talk about changing SEO tactics, striking deals with platforms, dialling up the outrage (I swear!)... everything but actually talking to PEOPLE & learning what they need.
