Bose highlighted the increasing role of artificial intelligence in media organizations, noting its use in fact-checking and preliminary news reporting. However, she cautioned that cross-verification remains essential to avoid misinformation and stressed the need to be aware of potential bias in AI-generated content.
The workshop also featured a practical demonstration, where students compared AI-generated images of houses in the US and India. While the American house outputs were almost identical, the Indian house results showed varied interpretations, sparking discussions on how cultural and contextual bias can influence AI systems.
Students also shared their informal interactions with ChatGPT as part of the session, making the workshop engaging and interactive.
