This week I\u2019m picking up on a conversation I had at Splice Beta in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Asia\u2019s premier media start-up festival. I spoke to <\/span><\/i><b><i>Tshepo Tshabalala<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who\u2019s project manager and team lead at JournalismAI, a global initiative that empowers news organisations to use artificial intelligence responsibly. Here\u2019s his Five in 500:<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><b>What\u2019s your innovation? Tell us about it, and why we should pay attention to what you\u2019re working on.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At JournalismAI I\u2019m working with and sharing what newsrooms around the world are doing with artificial intelligence in news organisations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>What&#8217;s your top prediction for the most disruptive content format or storytelling technique African media will embrace in the near future?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Probably AI voice generators that not only clone voices but also translate audio content to other languages. And closely related to this will be the generation of realistic text to speech voice over online with AI. If done exceptionally well, news organisations will be able to reach wider audiences with translated content. In the same vein, it would be disruptive to radio or audio channels too, as audiences would be able to receive content in their preferred language. But this would need to be done responsibly and within the confines of regulations. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><b>\u203c\ufe0fWhat&#8217;s the most exciting project or initiative in African media innovation that you&#8217;ve come across recently?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zimbabwe-based Centre for Innovation and Technology (CITE) has created an AI news anchor called Alice. The AI newsreader has an account on X (Twitter) where they share news. I\u2019m excited about it because it\u2019s an opportunity for newsrooms to offer services and content in languages they previously never worked in. And it is something that can be used by all kinds of newsrooms. <\/span><\/p><p><b>Can you share a quick tip or strategy that African media organizations can implement right now to better engage their audiences and adapt to changing media consumption habits?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create compelling and easy to understand social media copy that link back to your main content on your news platforms. Easy short explainers can come in handy. This can be done through just text or images, and\/or both. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><b>What&#8217;s the most underutilized resource or opportunity in the African media landscape that you believe has the potential to drive significant growth or positive change?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On WhatsApp, news organisations can use generativeAI chatbots that could help audiences verify news information. For the journalists\/reporters, a chatbot plug in on a CMS could help reporters during the news gathering or production process, to give them context, nuance and history on an topic that was previously reported on by that publication. It would be a brilliant way for newsrooms to leverage their archives and evergreen content.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019d also be happy to share:<\/span><\/p><p><b>What I\u2019m Reading<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invisible Strings<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Naledi Mashishi, which has been described as \u201can intoxicating blend of supernatural mystery, family secrets, and the corrupting power of popularity,\u201d by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackstonepublishing.com\/invisible-strings-hj45.html#541=2700495\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this reviewer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who goes on to say, \u201cit is a story addresses not only the scourge of charismatic pastors in South Africa, but how the past bleeds into the present, no matter how much we try to forget it.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><b>What I\u2019m Watching<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/80229847\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Change Your Mind<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, on Netflix.
