Artificial intelligence is a key technology of the coming years. How can we use it responsibly and in order to improve journalistic content? How can AI and language models help us make reporting more constructive, enhance it with a broader variety of perspectives, and focus on solutions, thereby benefiting democracy? Both the Constructive Institute in Aarhus, Denmark, and the Bonn Institute have been paying attention to these questions for some time.
In this talk, Claudia Isabel Rittel and Peter Damgaard-Kristensen will explore questions considered important for the responsible use of AI in the newsroom. They will discuss key findings from the Bonn Institute’s Constructive AI Compass project and provide prompts that every editor can use in their day-to-day work to make reporting more constructive. Additionally, they will conduct a deep dive into how an AI tool—namely the Constructive Institute's "Constructive News Mirror"—can help improve journalistic quality, measure constructiveness in reporting, and guide editorial decisions. Peter will offer detailed insights into this tool and share how he and his colleagues have developed the underlying Constructive News Algorithm since 2019.
