S2E2 - Reporting in the age of algorithms: journalism and AI on the front line

What if artificial intelligence could imitate your voice so perfectly that even your most loyal listeners wouldn't notice any difference?

This is exactly what happened to Bruno Guglielminetti, a former Radio-Canada journalist, who broadcast two entire news bulletins using his synthesized voice without a single listener noticing. Alongside Jérôme Colombain, former France Info columnist, they reveal how they now process more than 1,000 articles a day using AI models trained on their own writing style, radically transforming their freelance workflow.

These two veterans of technology journalism, each with more than 25 years of experience in public service, demystify the use of AI in newsrooms, comparing its future widespread use to that of Excel: a tool that will soon no longer be mentioned, because it is the final quality of the information that counts, not the technical means used to achieve it.
