EmailIn late 2023 and early 2024, Aspen Digital put out a public call for submissions of excellent descriptions of artificial intelligence (AI) in reporting from 2023. From hundreds of excerpts representing over 80 different publications ranging from student papers to international mainstream press, we chose 15 winners.
Illustrators say employers are encouraging them to use AI image generators to boost their productivity. At Xu’s studio, for example, AI generators create clothes and accessories from human-illustrated character sketches. Game designers also use AI programs to draw treasure chests and gold coins, a Shanghai-based illustrator told Rest of World.
What makes it great
In this excerpt, Zhou centers human actors (“employers” and “game designers”), specifies the type of technology being used (“AI image generators”) and explains what the technology is being used for (“to boost productivity” and “to draw treasure chests and gold coins”). To make this excerpt even better, the second sentence could highlight a human actor to be more clear (as opposed to making “AI generators” the subject).
What the winner has to say
“The rise of AI is leading to anxiety about job displacement around the world. In an uncertain economy, people are eager to know if they should learn new skills or make career changes in the face of new technologies. It’s crucial to keep the public fully informed about AI’s power and limitations.”
— Viola Zhou
