Monday, September 21

AI can write a story, fake a photo, and clone a voice — often faster than a reporter can dial a phone. Join Dr. Jon Down of the University of Portland, NCR CEO/Executive Editor Michael O'Loughlin, and NCR News Editor Carol Zimmermann for a candid conversation about how AI is reshaping how we consume information, what NCR does and doesn't do with AI, and how to tell reported journalism from everything else. Free for NCR readers and supporters.
