GIJC23 – How AI Can Save Small Newsrooms

Do you have too little time to do investigative stories? Try L-ai-la, the new AI research assistant, trained to find news fit to print. (You may be both lazy & forgetful, but Laila never misses a story.)

Is this about GPT4? Generative AI? No, forget about it. We are talking about LHF (the LowHangingFruit AI strategy).

Data editor Rune Ytreberg will demonstrate how journalists at the small local newspaper iTromsø use AI to empower their research. He will reveal the secret Arctic AI strategy Data First: Get the data! & Use simple AI models to gather, analyze, summarize and detect news.

If we can do it, you can too – and we are open to cross-border cooperation. Ready for the next domain-specific large language model?
