What does success look like in a class about AI? At Duke’s AI Journalism Lab, one answer was a trophy for “most successful failure.” Students built tools for real newsrooms, tested what worked, and learned from what broke. Read the story: sanford.duke.edu/story/ai-jou... @duke-dwc.bsky.social

Had a lot of fun with @billadair.com this spring teaching a brand new class at @dukesanford.bsky.social that challenged students to solve real-world journalism problems with AI and automation. Here are a few things we learned along the way. www.poynter.org/tech-tools/2...

In this Duke journalism class, failure was part of the assignment. It led to real AI tools for local news. - Poynter
Students partnered with local newsrooms to solve real reporting problems and learned to start with the need, not the technology
