AI is rapidly changing the world of journalism — but is it for better or worse? 

Poynter Institute faculty member Al Tompkins and Chicago-based reporter Mills Hayes join hosts Carol Marin and Lisa Parker to discuss how AI is transforming story writing, newsrooms and the industry as a whole.

The guests discuss how they utilize AI in their reporting, offering guidance for young reporters on how to use it and not abuse it.
