Really enjoyed this conversation with Rayane El Masri for the Careful Minds podcast series @admscentre.org.au Drawing on our research, we unpack the growing “responsibility gap” in AI, from generative search and news to misinformation and global power asymmetries. #AI #Elecitons #AIGovernance

I had the pleasure of kicking off the 2026 seminar series at the Digital Ethnography Research Centre at RMIT University, presenting my research on #AI & #Journalism & #Governance. Thanks to DERC and Rob for organising, and to everyone for the great discussion. Special guest: Sarge the puppy 🐶

As a former print journalist, there’s something special about seeing work in print. 🥹 Our chapter, “Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Journalism in China,”w/ Xueying Wang and profkarlsson.bsky.social, is out in The Handbook of Artificial Intelligence and Journalism. 🔗 doi.org/10.1002/9781...

Two enriching weeks at “Public Service Media in the Platform Era – Towards Public Infrastructure.” Workshops, public lectures, and discussions with scholars and practitioners on how public service media can navigate platform dominance, AI, and the tensions between personalisation and universality.

✨What a real honour! This journal has been my intellectual home since day one — first articles, first review, and now… this. Grateful for the care, generosity, and brilliance of the editorial team and community. Also: the highlight of the invitation was being called a “young scholar” by the EiC. 😆

Who Controls Information Now? AI Search, Journalism, and Democratic Risk; An Interview with Dr joannekuai.bsky.social (RMIT University) conducted by Anahita Poursafir, Intern at our Stockholm Center for South Asian and Indo-Pacific Affairs. www.isdp.eu/publication/...

(Free eprint currently at that link but email me if paywalled.) And huge thanks to @joannekuai.bsky.social & @fabianlferrari.bsky.social for including me in their incredibly thoughtful @icsjournal.bsky.social AI governance special issue — full issue to come but individual papers at journal site.

New paper! In @icsjournal.bsky.social I argue that governing #AI means “scale work” — the labour of stabilizing AI *across* relationships that are usually tackled in isolation. I use journalism’s GenAI encounters as a case study, connecting siloed AI collisions www.tandfonline.com/eprint/T7WWF...

Wrapped up two fantastic conferences — AANZCA25 and JERAA25 — my first as a newcomer to Australia’s Media & Comms community. Brilliant people, inspiring papers, great keynotes, and very generous Queensland weather. Yes, I even became a 6am swimmer?! 🌊😂 Feeling welcomed, energised, and grateful. 🧡

Pleased to be quoted in a new Fix article on how publishers can respond to AI bots scraping journalistic content. Protecting journalism in the AI era requires fairness, accountability and stronger direct ties with readers. #AI #Journalism #MediaPolicy #NewsIndustry

Great to take part in the International Conference on Platform and AI Society in Asia, which took place at Deakin University last week. Huge thanks to the organisers, and all participants for such rich discussions. #AI #AIGovernance #AIandSociety #AsianMedia

I had a great time leading a team at the 2025 ADM+S Hackathon. Two intense days of thinking about search, context, and “wicked problems”. Loved the creativity in the room and learned so much from the other teams. Feeling grateful for the experience and the community. 🔍💡🤝✨ #ADMS #SearchSystems
