What do journalists actually need to know about AI — and is knowing how to use ChatGPT enough?
In this episode, I’m joined by Paul Bradshaw, a data journalist with the BBC’s Shared Data Unit, lecturer at Birmingham City University, journalism trainer and author of books on online and data journalism.
We dive into how journalists can work with AI effectively, why understanding how AI actually works can help you get better results, and why knowing a bit of coding could become an increasingly useful skill for journalists.
Paul also explains the difference between “destination prompts” and “journey prompts” — and why thinking about AI as different roles can completely change how you use it. He also shares an effective prompt design technique – chain of thought.
We finish with some places worth putting on your list: Paul recommends Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) in Wales. His dream destinations are Mount Tarawera and Rotorua in New Zealand.
