- a short report and checklist for journalists and technical teams on common uses of AI-generated imagery in elections. These should include a list of indicators for recognising AI-generated imagery and serve as guidance on contexts where it is likely to be found.\u00a0<\/li>\n
- a visual literacy workshop for BBC colleagues, which covers how news organisations can critically evaluate images created using AI, and how this imagery can be used in more representative and equitable ways<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
We wish Niamh a great time at the BBC. We look forward to her return, to hearing how it went, and to learning more about the use of AI imagery in local elections!\u00a0<\/p>\n
