The Anambra State ICT Agency, in collaboration with Activ8 Hub, on Thursday, hosted an enriching workshop on Artificial Intelligence in Journalism for media professionals.

The workshop which aims at digitally revolutionizing the media landscape, took the practitioners through emerging AI models, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Bing AI, and Microsoft Copilot, among others.

The workshop also aims to enhance the media professionals’ journalistic practices and ensure more efficient, accurate, and compelling reportage.

The workshop facilitated by experts including Mr. Chukwuma Mezie-Okoye, co-founder of Activ8 Hub, and Nehemiah Onyekachukwu Emmanuel, an AI Engineer with Microsoft, offered deep insight into the transformative impact of AI in journalism.

With a focus on leveraging AI to bolster productivity, fact-checking, and narrative crafting, the session illuminated the path for journalists to integrate these cutting-edge tools into their work responsibly.

The event also marked a significant stride in Anambra’s technological advancement, as was highlighted by Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata, CFA, the MD/CEO of Anambra State ICT Agency.

Agbata shared insights into the progress of work on the state’s ICT infrastructural development, which he noted, has vastly improved internet connectivity, thus facilitating more innovative initiatives.

According to him, the digital revolution ongoing in the state is only possible because Mr. Governor, Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo understands the 21st Century technology demands and is providing the support and political will required to guarantee such advancements.

“This workshop not only signifies Anambra State’s commitment to empowering its journalists but also reflects the government’s dedication to leveraging technology for societal advancement.

“As AI continues to evolve, Anambra’s media professionals need to be better equipped to navigate the digital age, ensuring the delivery of credible, insightful, and engaging content to their audience.

In his words, Co-Founder, Activ8 Hub, Mr. Chukwuma Mezie-Okoye, expressed profound appreciation for the partnership and pledged continued support towards the advancement of digital revolution in the state.

“The message is clear: embrace AI, not as a replacement, but as a complement to journalistic excellence, shaping a more informed, discerning, and connected world, welcome to the future.”
