Hello, my name is Oscar Howell, and I am a journalism student at the University of Technology Sydney.

I am currently undertaking a research project examining the impact of Artificial Intelligence on journalism, with a particular focus on how AI-generated news content may represent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities.

As part of my research, I will use AI software, including ChatGPT, to generate a series of news stories focused on Indigenous Australian topics. I am then seeking Indigenous Australian perspectives to review this content and identify how accurate or potentially harmful it may be.

I am reaching out to ask whether any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander members of this group would be interested in participating in the research. Participation would involve completing a short Google Forms survey in which you would read the AI-generated news stories and share your thoughts and feedback.

I will use your responses in my university research paper, and I will not publish them publicly. Participation is entirely voluntary, and you are welcome to decline if you do not wish to take part.

If you are interested in participating, please feel free to contact me. Alternatively, if you know of an organisation, community group, or individual who may be interested in contributing an Indigenous perspective to this research, I would greatly appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, and I appreciate any assistance or guidance you may be able to provide.

Hi everyone! My name is Oscar Howell, and I’m a journalism student at the University of Technology Sydney.

I’m currently working on a video news package about the growing concern about Artificial Intelligence in creative industries, and how it is affecting people working across these spaces.

For the story, I’m looking to speak with a creative-industry worker/student based in the Sydney area who would be available for a 10-20 minute in-person interview early next week.

I’m interested in speaking with people working in areas such as graphic design, illustration, photography, videography, writing, advertising, marketing, music, animation, filmmaking, or other creative fields.

I’d like to discuss:

*How prominent AI tools have become in your industry

*Whether AI has affected your work, workload or job opportunities

*How creative workers are adapting to the technology

*Whether you see AI as a threat, an opportunity, or somewhere in between

*What you think AI could mean for the future of creative work

The interview would be for a university journalism assignment, would be recorded for the video news piece, and would only be shared with UTS staff members, not published publicly. The interviewee will not be paid, but food and drinks can be provided.

If you’re interested in participating, or know someone who might be, please comment below or send me a message, and I’d be happy to provide more details.

Thanks very much!
