Join us for an important online panel discussion about the latest debates surrounding AI and the Media on Tuesday 18th November at 6pm. Tickets are free for Media Society members. £10 for non-members.
Event Description
This month sees the third anniversary of the launch of ChatGPT - a perfect time to look at the impact that generative AI is having on the media industry.
The Media Society had a similar event marking its first anniversary in 2023, hence this year's event being called Part 2. But many of the question marks that surrounded Gen AI back in 2023 have now turned into reality. AI has shaken the world of media to its core. New working practices and systems, global copyright disputes, AI-generated books, articles and videos, and, most recently, AI TV presenters.
To discuss all this, our expert panel includes:
- Geeta Guru-Murthy (Chair) - BBC TV news presenter, and now doing a Masters on AI Ethics at Cambridge.
- Rhiannon Williams - MIT Technology Review reporter, with a special interest in AI and robotics. Writes the award-winning The Download newsletter.
- Ed Zitron - a PR expert, author and tech critic. WIRED magazine recently profiled him, calling him 'one of the loudest voices of the AI haters'.
- Graham Lovelace - editor of the highly successful global 'Charting Gen AI' Substack newsletter.
- Nick Parnes - CEO of the TV production company that produced the recent Channel 4 Dispatches programme 'Will AI Take My Job?', featuring an AI presenter.
The event will be introduced by the Media Society President, Nigel Dacre.
