Most industries now realise that they need to embrace A.I. tools in order to compete, let alone produce more, work more efficiently and engage audiences more effectively.
But in journalism, a very justified concern about the risk of AI generated content and synthetic media undermining integrity and audience trust in our news output means newsrooms and journalists have been slow to recognise where AI tools can enhance their workflow.
In this course we explore the specific AI tools that can improve the depth, efficiency and quality of a journalists work rather than specifically create the media for the output (something we do in more depth insister courses).
The AI landscape is changing and developing all the time, so we constantly update this course to bring you the very latest AI tools to help with research, writing, news gathering, contributor searching, backgrounder production, audience engagement and much more.

But if you’re a journalist or a newsroom, what AI tools are available to counter these threats and deepfakes? This is a totally unmissable training course that becomes more relevant each and every day.

Deepfakes pose significant social threats, and understanding these risks is crucial. Deepfakes can fabricate convincing disinformation by depicting real individuals saying or doing things they never did. When deepfakes deceive people, trust in media, institutions, and public figures erodes.

This program equips you with essential knowledge to navigate the age of AI-generated deception. Discover the genesis of deep fakes and their impact on media, society, and truth. Dive into the art and science of crafting convincing fake videos. Sharpen your detective skills as we uncover the telltale signs of deep fakes.
