Generatieve AI op nieuwsredacties

Het afgelopen jaar was het jaar waarin generatieve artificiรซle intelligentie doorbrak. Hoewel er al veel gespeculeerd werd over genAI, ontbreekt enig wetenschappelijk onderzoek daarover. En daarom zijn we voor onze studie op zoek naar journalisten die momenteel experimenten met generatieve AI, het op regelmatige basis gebruiken, of journalisten die het nog niet gebruiken. Het onderzoek kadert binnen een bredere samenwerking tussen Universiteit Gent, imec, Universiteit Amsterdam en de Beroepsverenigingen van Journalisten in Belgiรซ en Nederland. In deze vragenlijst willen we polsen naar het gebruik van generatieve AI tijdens de nieuwsproductie op Belgische en Nederlandse nieuwsredactie. Bent u journalist en/of maakt u deel uit van een nieuwsredactie? Vul dan onze survey in!
