What considerations should we make when integrating AI tools into video journalism workflows? This session, hosted in partnership with the Video Consortium, will cover practical applications, ethics, and best practices for AI in video creation. We’ll examine how AI can improve accessibility, automate processes, and generate insights, while also addressing concerns about content accuracy, algorithmic bias, and journalistic integrity. Join us to explore these topics around AI’s role in video journalism.

Where will the meetup take place?
This event will be hosted on Zoom. For this particular event, you’ll have the best experience if you join via the Zoom app on a desktop or laptop computer so that you can see the presentation on a larger screen. You can also join using the mobile app, although the presentation may be harder to view.
Can I dial in by phone?
We recommend joining from your computer, tablet or phone using the Zoom app. You won’t be able to access the presentation slides, chat and exercises if you’re dialed in via phone only. If you’re unfamiliar with Zoom, we’ll have staff on hand to troubleshoot, and we also suggest checking out the Zoom support site for more help.
Will this event be recorded?
The event will be recorded and made available to registrants at the end of the session.
Will closed captioning be available?
Yes, we will enable Zoom’s closed captioning tool, which now supports closed captioning in both the main room and breakout rooms.
