What role should generative AI (GenAI) play in a newsroom, if any? Join us for an overdue, informal conversation with top experts and scholars at USC about GenAI and its impact on the world of journalism, news, and the press. We will tackle some pressing questions around the emergence of GenAI as an area of concern and opportunity for media scholars and practitioners alike. Who are some examples of thoughtful and strong leaders in the field of GenAI, and why? How does GenAI complement and/or conflict with, for example, journalistic investigation or witnessing? What do schools and practitioners need to be doing now to get ready for GenAI and the 2024 presidential election? What are we not talking about, but should be?
