Feedback means a lot to us at FactCheckAfrica, and we are thrilled to consistently receive phenomenal responses from our AI Journalism Fellows about their experiences in each session. Recently, Walid Al-Saqaf (@wsaqaf), Associate Professor in Journalism and Senior Lecturer in Media Technology @Mkv_Sodertorn, led a session focused on ethical and equitable AI practices in journalism. Below are some of the insightful feedback we received: "The most valuable takeaway from this session was the presentation about how to detect deepfake. I tried the tool and it worked perfectly. I will integrate the knowledge by using the InVID tools for multimedia forensics." — @CitizenLi, Lecturer, Nigeria "The most valuable takeaway for me is the importance of taking into consideration the ethical aspects to ensure that our audience maintains the trust they have in the news we publish. I will integrate all the learned knowledge into my station's news items and ensure all ethical considerations are observed when using social media for content posting." — @katherine_ilona, Content/Programme Personnel, Nigeria "The tasks by my team and others really broadened my understanding. I will integrate the knowledge in ensuring that human supervision is essential after any Al content." — Aruwajoye Oladapo, Broadcaster, Nigeria We are continually driven by the goal of ensuring seamless integration of #AI and #Journalism across #WestAfrica.
