12:04:49 From Amber Samdahl to Everyone: Public Media Innovators: https://publicmediainnovators.org 12:05:13 From Amber Samdahl to Everyone: AI Resources page: https://publicmedia.is/learning-about/ai/ 12:05:43 From Amber Samdahl to Everyone: AI and the Future of Community Thursday, August 20 https://uwmadison.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_rVsiEz45QNiay2B9I0TowQ 12:09:17 From Rachel Knight to Host and panelists: I wasn't aware of the PBS session. Any chance you can post a link to that? Thanks. 12:09:43 From Jay Barchas-Lichtenstein to Everyone: Not public media specific, but sharing in case folks haven’t seen: CJR has a piece on best practices for AI policy development just today! https://www.cjr.org/feature/how-to-develop-ai-guidelines-newsroom-leaders-policy-experts-rules-journalists.php 12:09:55 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Here’s the PBS webinar link: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-i9qAkPUSAGbpXQ8jyE6MQ#/registration 12:13:35 From Chad Davis to Everyone: We recently updated our policy in Nebraska, and I used Google’s NotebookLM to collect resources: You can access those here: https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/5f9bd419-b05c-481a-bf50-507fb21a867b 12:14:45 From Amber Samdahl to Everyone: Please add any questions in chat and we’ll collect them for a Q&A at the end! 12:18:12 From Emily Colby to Everyone: Do any of you have a set cadence for how frequently you review and update your AI policies? How are you thinking about what updates might be needed? 12:21:17 From Aili Langseth to Everyone: Has integrating AI into your work resulted in a reduced headcount of human employees? 12:22:05 From Naomi Starobin to Everyone: Any of you at a university licensee station? What’s the impact on your AI policy and work? 12:24:10 From Joe Moore to Everyone: Re: banning AI for coming up with content ideas - do you ban them from using Google? 12:24:25 From Chad Davis to Everyone: We’re a university licensee, but that didn’t impact our policy development. Re: cadence, we’re committing to review it quarterly, after the initial release (and the equivalent of bug fixes). 12:25:17 From Asad Muhammad (he/him) to Everyone: Has anyone calculated the staff time saved by implementing AI tools? Is any of the “freed up” time intentionally used to connect with humans in-person, shorten the work day, or put toward staff-centered mental health activities? Just curious. 12:26:33 From Josephine Bennett to Everyone: We use AI for tasks like transcription (Trint). How are people using it for data collection and organization? 12:26:40 From Komal Trivedi to Host and panelists: Interested to learn more about the vetting process you have been using for the AI technologies you implement use of. How did you define that? Was there a framework you used in order to feel that you have securely vetted the technology? 12:27:05 From Tom Michael to Everyone: In regard to university licensees and AI resources allowed/provided by the licensee, how does your station align or not from those? 12:27:12 From Samantha Sommer to Everyone: I’m curious how your organizations are using it outside of the newsroom as well — in member solicitations, underwriting pitches, non-content based newsletters (like to members or internal), daily work functions/internal communications etc. 12:29:41 From Komal Trivedi to Host and panelists: And how is all your general feeling about the pace of the technology and do you feel like you are keeping up? 12:29:47 From Emily Colby to Everyone: Did any of your newsrooms consider AI's environmental impact? How did that factor into developing your policies? 12:30:51 From Komal Trivedi to Host and panelists: This is a very digestible and informative read with regards to AI and work: https://fathom.org/insights/the-future-of-work-a-framework-for-action-under-uncertainty 12:31:12 From Tim Olson to Everyone: Regarding images (e.g. creation, augmentation), what are some of the most thoughtful policy language folks have seen? 12:32:44 From Hannah Saad to Everyone: Would you consider having an AI editorial policy before establishing a station-wide AI policy, or is it better to have everyone in the station on board and wait to roll out one overall policy? 12:32:53 From Jennifer Hasse to Everyone: We've committed to a human first, human last mantra and policy. Work should start and end with a human's oversight and execution. We disclose that AI may be incorporated in our processes, however, we commit to human touch throughout all of its usage. 12:33:48 From Jennifer Hasse to Everyone: We have a link at the bottom of our website btpm.org 12:34:22 From Jennifer Hasse to Everyone: That's for public knowledge. We have a more in-depth internal policy. 12:36:36 From Emily Colby to Everyone: What do your policies say about on-air disclosure? 12:37:19 From Sergio Bustos to Everyone: Curious to know if disclosing use of AI has impacted web traffic. Has it hurt or had no impact on traffic? 12:38:01 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Here’s the link to that PBS S&P AI policy webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-i9qAkPUSAGbpXQ8jyE6MQ#/registration 12:38:16 From A. Rima Dael to Everyone: Question -- I use AI to help my writing since I am dyslexic -- for grammar, spelling and sentence flow. How is this handled in your AI policies. Thanks, Rima/NFCB 12:38:42 From Talia Rosen to Everyone: We focus on using voiced top-of-show viewer advisories combined with lower-third labels and web markers, as well as web extra articles to provide more detail about the use. 12:38:45 From Tim Olson to Everyone: Anyone have an approved tool and use cases list they can share? 12:40:48 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Here’s an AI resources page that Amber has assembled on our website. You can see each of these stations’ (and others’) policies there: https://publicmedia.is/learning-about/ai/ 12:44:53 From Komal Trivedi to Host and panelists: Thank you 12:46:08 From Sam Stone to Everyone: Just wanted to point out that non-AI cloud technologies have a large & significant environmental impact on their own.... having that info handy has been helpful in those convos, to help explain how it's not just AI that has an impact. 12:48:07 From Tim Olson to Everyone: there is some good context data about AI actual energy use here: https://ourworldindata.org/artificial-intelligence 12:48:32 From Chad Davis to Everyone: https://netneb-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/cdavis_netad_unl_edu/IQDhlwBI0smbSYJwui5bMNsEAZ_7BuwXf3p0dl-GwIHylNw?e=wrCFIY 12:51:15 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Another plug for Talia’s webinar, coming up in 8 minutes: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-i9qAkPUSAGbpXQ8jyE6MQ#/registration 12:51:16 From David Schultheis to Everyone: Very informative.
