At her invited talk, Estel Huh spoke about the changes journalism is undergoing due to artificial intelligence (AI). She presented our studies on AI journalism and explored how people in modern media environments react to news written by AI. The talk joins the work Estel is conducting in our Lab as part of her PhD research. Well done Estel!
