SUMMARY:AI Promises & Pitfalls: Practical Guidance for Using AI Wisely
DESCRIPTION:AI is neither a miracle nor a menace. It’s a powerful amplifier—of our strengths and our blind spots. The organizations and individuals who thrive will be the ones who use it thoughtfully\, critically\, and creatively. We’ll review the Do’s and Don’ts of using AI to augment\, not replace\, expertise while understanding its limitations and ethical implications \nWe’ll share where AI truly shines to: \n\nAmplify human capability by automating repetitive tasks\, enhancing creativity and problem-solving and improving decision-making with data-driven insights\nTransforming industries such a healthcare (early detective\, personalized insights)\, education (adaptive learning accessibility) and business (efficiency\, forecasting\, customer experience)\nExpand access to language translation\, assistive technologies and democratizing expertise\n\nAnd then we’ll share where AI fails and things get messy: \n\nHow biased data leads to biased outcomes and real-world consequences in hiring\, lending\, and policing\nOverreliance and automation blindness – when humans stop questioning machine output and the dangers of “AI said so” thinking\nPrivacy and data concerns such as what data models learn from and why transparency matters\nMisinformation and deepfakes when AI-generated content blurs the truth and the challenge of verification\nOrganizational risks such as poor implementation leading to bad decisions and lack of governance or clear accountability\nThe human factor – why AI is a tool\, not a replacement\, the importance of human judgment\, skills people need in an AI-rich world and ethical leadership and responsible adoption\n\n  \nThis session will be an in-person event as part of the PNA Convention in Harrisburg.  \n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \n2026-27 Center for Journalism Excellence “Meet the Moment” Virtual Training Registration\nRegister now for all eight virtual “Meet the Moment” sessions offered across 2026–2027.
