PLDT & Smart AI-in a box program: The AI advantage for community journalists
ARTIFICIAL Intelligence tools have helped community newsrooms and freelance journalists streamline the heavy lifting of data analysis for investigative reports, ensuring accuracy without sacrificing the speed required by the news cycle. Like any other tool, its value depends on how you harness its capacity to sharpen public discourse and effectively speak truth to power. Ultimately, maximizing these resources empowers independent journalists to stand toe-to-toe with big news corporations, transforming raw information into compelling stories that hold our communities together. I would like to thank PLDT and Smart for their “AI-in a Box” program, which has equipped independent journalists like myself with the tools and connectivity necessary to harness this technology to “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”
