Thought you might find my new TC piece interesting: https://twitter.com/ilparone/ status/1017726095263764481?s=21 “To put it mildly, news media has been on the sidelines in AI development. As a consequence, in the age of AI-powered personalized interfaces, the news organizations don’t anymore get to define what’s real news, or, even more importantly, what’s truthful or trustworthy. Today, social media platforms, search engines and content aggregators control user flows to the media content and affect directly what kind of news content is created. As a result, the future of news media isn’t anymore in its own hands. Case closed? … The driving values of news media won’t ever be fully realized in the algorithmic reality if the news media itself isn’t actively developing solutions that shape the algorithmic reality. ... To maintain their integrity and trustworthiness, news organizations themselves need to able to define how their AI solutions are built and used. And the only way to fully realize this is for the news organizations to start building their own AI solutions to augment the user-citizen, journalists and the newsroom.” As always, all feedback/thoughts very welcome! -Jarno M. https://twitter.com/ilparone Best, Jarno M.
