AI in Journalism Challenge 2023. Final Report

David Caswell

New York: Open Society Foundations (2024), 60 pp.

"This report describes the Applied AI in Journalism Challenge (AIJC)—a competitive accelerator program intended to prototype pragmatic applications of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities in mission-driven newsrooms around the world. The program was launched in June 2023 and ran until Novembe ... r 2023. Funding was provided by the Open Society Foundations. The author of this report was the lead consultant for the project. The AIJC program was the first of its kind and therefore was itself a prototype—both of a process for accelerating the pragmatic adoption of AI within newsrooms, and also of an approach to developing investment opportunities around applying AI to news. The program was largely successful, developing a cohort of capable and motivated teams and actively engaging with them as they developed substantial new capabilities. The program also succeeded in producing a range of practical insights for its different stakeholder groups—newsrooms, program operators, investors, and the news industry generally. This report provides a complete record of the AIJC program. The primary intention in writing it is to contribute the experience and insights accumulated during the program to the global journalism community, and to provide sufficient detail and specificity to be directly useful to anyone seeking to apply those lessons to hands-on projects, accelerator programs, and investments. The first section of the report provides a systematic description of the program, including why it was initiated, what it was trying to achieve, how it was set up, and how it actually played out in practice. The second section reviews the tangible outcomes of the program and describes the “funneling” of projects from the proposals in the initial applications, to the teams selected to participate in the program, to the finalist projects, to the eventual program winner (and runner up). The third section lists the specific lessons learned by the AIJC community, one by one, with a detailed explanation of each lesson and the evidence for it from the program. The fourth section gathers and analyzes these lessons to provide a succinct set of specific recommendations, organized for newsrooms, for operators of similar AI in news accelerator programs, for investors, and finally for the global news ecosystem. The fifth and final section draws on those lessons to look into the near future and offers some general opinions and guidance for changes that we might anticipate for news in the age of AI, as well as some guidance for preparing journalism for that transformation."

Stratégie Continentale sur l’Intelligence Artificielle: Mettre l'IA au Service du Développement et de la Prospérité de l'Afrique

Union Africaine (2024), 63 pp.

"Pour l'Afrique, l'IA pourrait avoir un impact significatif sur la réalisation des aspirations de l'Agenda 2063 et des Objectifs de Développement Durable (ODD). Elle est considérée comme un moteur de changement positif, de transformation socio-économique et de renaissance culturelle. L'IA peut ... stimuler la croissance économique, créer de nouvelles industries, motiver l’innovation, générer des opportunités d'emploi, développer de nouveaux créneaux d'activité économique pour les femmes et les jeunes, soutenir la préservation du patrimoine culturel de l'Afrique et aider à résoudre quelques défis complexes et urgents de l'Afrique dans les domaines de la santé, de l'agriculture, de l'éducation, des finances, de la prestation des services publics et bien d'autres encore. La stratégie continentale de l'Union africaine (UA) en matière d'IA s'aligne sur les aspirations de l'UA en matière de développement inclusif ainsi que sur ses valeurs fondamentales. Guidée par les principes d'éthique, d'inclusion et de diversité, des droits de l'homme et de dignité humaine, de bien-être des personnes, de paix et de prospérité, elle donne la priorité au développement et à l'adaptation des systèmes d'IA au contexte africain. Cette stratégie propose une approche inclusive, centrée sur l'Afrique et axée sur le développement autour de cinq domaines d'intervention notamment : tirer le meilleur parti possible des avantages de l'IA, renforcer les capacités en matière d'IA, minimiser les risques, stimuler l'investissement et favoriser la coopération. Elle définit une vision commune et identifie les interventions clés en matière de politique pour permettre au continent d'exploiter l'énorme potentiel de l'IA tout en relevant les défis sociétaux, éthiques, sécuritaires et juridiques associés aux transformations induites par l'IA. Avec cette stratégie continentale en matière d'IA, l'Afrique est en train de poser les fondements nécessaires pour devenir une partie intégrante de la révolution de l'IA en optimisant ces avantages et en libérant son très grand potentiel pour ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives pour tous les citoyens. La population africaine, jeune et technophile, est bien placée pour adopter les technologies innovantes et les mettre au service de la transformation économique et sociale." (Avant-propos) more

Inteligência Artificial & Igreja: Reflexões a Partir da Mensagem do Papa Francisco para o 58° Dia Mundial das Comunicações Sociais 2024

Aline Amaro da Silva, Claudenir Modolo, Joana T. Puntel, Marcus Tullius, Magali Cunha, Moisés Sbardelotto, Ricardo Alvarenga

Conferência Nacional dos Bispos do Brasil (CNBB); CNBB Grupo de Reflexão sobre Comunicação (Grecom); Pascom Brasil (2024), 76 pp.

"[...] a reflexão proposta pelo Papa Francisco para o Dia Mundial das Comunicações Sociais de 2024 é crucial para a ação evangelizadora da Igreja.[2] A partir do tema “Inteligência artificial e sabedoria do coração: para uma comunicação plenamente humana”, somos convidados a refletir ... sobre os impactos da inteligência artificial em nossa comunicação pessoal, social e eclesial, buscando sempre uma comunicação integralmente humana e humanizadora. A mensagem de Francisco nos leva a compreender que, em meio às inovações tecnológicas, nossa reflexão e ação devem partir do coração humano. A sabedoria do coração, entendida como a virtude que nos permite combinar o todo com as partes, as grandezas com as fragilidades, é essencial para interpretar a novidade do nosso tempo e encontrar o caminho para uma comunicação verdadeiramente humana. Diante das novas possibilidades e desafios trazidos pela IA, é fundamental questionarmos de que forma ela afetará a sociedade, a comunicação e também as igrejas. Será que a IA construirá novas castas baseadas na dominação informacional, gerando desigualdades e exploração? Ou, ao contrário, promoverá mais igualdade, informações corretas e maior consciência da transição de época que estamos atravessando? Para Francisco, “a resposta não está escrita; depende de nós”. Compete a nós, comunicadoras e comunicadores da mensagem de Jesus, decidir se permitiremos que a IA nos reduza a meros “funcionários algorítmicos” ou se nutriremos nossos corações com a liberdade que vem do Espírito, imprescindível para o crescimento na sabedoria. Para isso, devemos buscar “a Sabedoria que existe antes de todas as coisas”, como afirma o Papa. Este subsídio, produzido pelo Grupo de Reflexão sobre Comunicação (Grecom) da Conferência Nacional dos Bispos do Brasil (CNBB), tem como objetivo oferecer uma reflexão sobre a mensagem do Papa Francisco deste ano e suas implicações para a comunicação católica no Brasil. Como parte essencial da Comissão Episcopal para a Comunicação Social, o Grecom tem a missão de refletir, estudar e pesquisar a comunicação, oferecendo subsídios que contribuam para uma comunicação mais humana, ética e responsável, a serviço da evangelização e da sociedade. Este subsídio está subdividido em seis seções, baseadas nas principais ideias apresentadas por Francisco em sua mensagem e também desdobrando-as a partir das contribuições do campo da Comunicação. Primeiramente, apresentamos uma definição geral do conceito de IA. Em seguida, repassamos oportunidades e perigos trazidos à tona por essa inovação. Frente a isso, destacamos alguns imperativos éticos que o desenvolvimento da IA suscita no agir humano. Depois, refletimos sobre a IA à luz do magistério da Igreja, particularmente do Papa Francisco. Com base nisso, indicamos alguns desafios e também possibilidades pastorais na relação da Igreja com os sistemas de IA. Por fim, levantamos algumas interrogações ainda em aberto na atualidade, que solicitam uma reflexão-ação constante rumo ao futuro que já estamos construindo hoje." (Introduçao, páginas 5-7) more
