Quality assessment and control of AI in journalism

Hosted by: Grimme-Institut and Grimme-Forschungskolleg

This session examines the quality of AI-supported journalistic work from two mutually enriching perspectives. The session opens with a look at current issues of control, responsibility, and compensation from a legal perspective; including legal standards and their control through the media, copyright law, and effective regulatory strategies in journalism. Moving on to a view on quality assessment, we will examine insights and projections for the future in times of increasing machine-generated content in an algorithmic culture. The Grimme Online Award for outstanding, journalistic quality online offerings will serve as an example here.
