Really grateful to Sara Farr for covering our panel and research on journalism + AI at #ICA25, now featured in Law360 Canada.

The piece engages with core questions around trust, authorship, IP, and the role of human agency in an AI-powered news landscape.

Journalism and AI: A cautionary tale - Law360 Canada

Generative AI, or genAI — arguably one of the fastest-growing technologies at the moment — is everywhere: in the workplace and in one’s private life. And one need not look too far to find it. Run a quick internet search, for example, and notice the AI-generated summary at the top of the page. Watch a video online, for example, and notice an ad midstream featuring an AI-generated persona trying to sell something.

Just spotted that our #ICA25 panel was featured by the @reutersinstitute — a bit late, but still a lovely surprise! 🎉

Really appreciate this kind of infrastructure to make journalism + AI research more visible beyond the academic bubble.

It’s been another great #ica25 and my last as @icagames.bsky.social chair! Been a privilege to see this division grow in scope and size! Looking forward to seeing what comes next and thanks to my fellow officers both in the division and others
We hope that everyone had a great #ica25 conference! Thanks to all. Safe travels!
It was an inspiring #ica25, wonderful to see folks, much good scholarship. Looking forward to #ica26 But also what a time to meet. In a country being torn apart. And with many colleagues not there. And many affected in all kinds of ways by the many conflicts in the world.
