The Media Copilot

How AI Can Customize Your News, with Jeremy Caplan


Listen Later

The Media Copilot is a weekly discussion about generative AI and how it's changing media, journalism, and the news. After a news briefing where journalists Pete Pachal and John Biggs discuss the most recent AI headlines relevant to the media, we present a conversation with a new person every week — innovators, media executives, and fascinating people with compelling perspectives on AI.

For this week's conversation, we welcome Jeremy Caplan, author of the newsletter Wonder Tools and Director of Teaching and Learning at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY. We spoke to Jeremy about not just the tools journalists can use to begin using generative AI in their day-to-day, but also the mentality needed to get the most out of this unprecedented moment in media.
If you watch the video version of the podcast, you may notice Jeremy’s video was slightly out of sync with his audio. We tried to fix this in post and failed, but rest assured Jeremy talks just like a normal human when he has a better internet connection.
Here are the stories from the news briefing:
Nightshade "Poisons" AI models by altering metadata on images (Ars Technica)
Twelve Labs shows off AI that can "watch" and interpret videos (The Neuron)
An AI designed to clean up Wikipedia citations (Nature)
Anthropic is crowd-sourcing an "AI constitution" (Axios)

The Media Copilot is a podcast and newsletter that explores how generative AI is changing media, journalism, and the news.
