AI Club is a monthly meetup exploring practical, ethical, and reliable uses of AI in journalism.
Join us for our first session, where we’ll hear from journalists and engineers working to support reporting with AI, including the Executive Editor for Data Journalism at Bloomberg. Together, we’ll survey the rapidly evolving landscape of tools available to journalists. This includes everything from transcription and data analysis to working securely with sensitive documents using models that run locally on your computer. We’ll discuss what these tools are good at, where they fall short, and how they are already being incorporated into reporting workflows.
We’ll also introduce our weekly office hours, where CJS students can get hands-on help using AI to tackle reporting and technical challenges throughout the year.
Pizza and refreshments will be provided. All Columbia students are welcome.
