How is AI being used in journalism? There’s no doubt that some executives in the news media industry have viewed artificial intelligence (AI) with anxiety. But a newsroom in the future without any AI tools is highly unlikely. According to Nieman Lab1, major newsrooms across the country have been designing new roles and initiatives around how to develop and use AI tools and processes while maintaining ethics and editorial standards. Already, news publishers like the New York Times, Associated Press, the Washington Post, ESPN and Semafor have been open about investing in initiatives to explore how AI technology can be used alongside human journalists. This article will look at how AI is being used in journalism, how top publications are thinking about their AI strategy, and what industry analysts think might be coming for the future of journalism. https://lnkd.in/djezcxUg

Central Asia’s Ticking Time Bomb: Water 20 years ago, the Aral Sea was considered the fourth largest salt lake in the world. The lake, located on the border of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, is now drying up. And it's not just climate change that's causing the Aral Sea to recede year after year, offering opportunities for maritime trade, transportation and fishing in the region. In this NPR special report, NPR discusses the receding Aral Lake and the water problems in the region, and the problems that can arise if resources are not used properly.

The climate finance conundrum! The world faces a $2.7 trillion annual climate investment gap by 2030. Can nations invest now to avoid future losses? Another topic in the news, but featuring less in data journalism, is the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29), which began on November 11 in Baku, Azerbaijan. By the end of the conference, many promises will have been made or renewed. But will they be enough? According to an analysis by Moody’s, there is a funding gap for fighting climate change — a big one. The report states that large sums are needed for the world to reduce its emissions and adapt to the effects of climate change and, although investments have increased rapidly since the 2015 Paris Agreement, they are far from being sufficient. According to the report, the annual climate investment gap would be US$2.7 trillion by 2030 — about 1.8% of global gross domestic product (GDP). For Moody’s, emerging economies will be the hardest hit, but the consequences for advanced economies could also be severe. The report highlights a series of recent climate events in different countries and shows how these extreme phenomena can affect global GDP. https://lnkd.in/dY9n42fb

Captive Salmon Farming, By the Numbers Le Monde warned about the dangers of the rapid growth of intensive salmon farming. In the Atlantic alone, production of the species has tripled in 20 years, rising from one million tons in the early 2000s to almost three million tons today. These numbers are mainly driven by the increase in farming in Norway and Chile, countries with cold waters suitable for salmon, but the development of “industrial farms” on land, which allow the installation of breeding ponds in places such as Saudi Arabia, is also growing. The report presents graphs on these and other key figures about the salmon industry, including the main salmon-consuming countries (with the US leading by far in total consumption and the Faroe Islands in per capita consumption), how industrial farming has replaced wild salmon fishing, and how multinationals control the salmon market. There are also some unpleasant figures, such as the high mortality rates on Norwegian farms, as a substantial proportion of fish die before reaching the maturity required for human consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions. The paper used data aggregated by French NGOs Seastemik and Data for Good. https://lnkd.in/efyaabZq
