Anika Collier Navaroli

I keep being too busy to fully write out my rant about how this was (one of) the goal(s) of Elon buying Twitter. Black, brown, queer, trans, folks, women, etc (finally) had a (critical) say about tech that was being algorithmically amplified. He needed the echo chamber back, especially to hype AI.

Come work with me as a @19thnews.org SPORTS REPORTER!!! 19thnews.org/sports-repor...

Appreciate the shout out from @anikacolliernavaroli.com in @columjournreview.bsky.social today with advice for journalists writing about AI. www.cjr.org/ask-anika/so...

Have to admit I enjoyed this "AI disclaimer" in Anika Collier Navaroli's @columjournreview.bsky.social article on how journalists could and should write about AI. www.cjr.org/ask-anika/so...

How journalists writing about AI can avoid hyping the supposed humanity of machines. Read Ask Anika with @anikacolliernavaroli.com. www.cjr.org/ask-anika/so...

Bringing back shame, just in time for winter.

My advice to journalists in the age of “rogue agents”: don’t let anyone blow AI smoke up your ass

This list of “the counterspy techniques of C.I.A. officers” sounds a lot like… the basics of reporting in journalism

“For all the recent talk of an impending AI apocalypse and humanity being annihilated in some catastrophic, amorphous, unknown, hypothetical manner, I think the more risky scenario is allowing would-be god machines to continue their unfettered engagement in today’s information war.”

Me, a professor, lesson planning to teach ethics to journalism students this week

This week I learned that my students have no idea who Dick Cheney was. I then immediately learned that the words “sorry to this man” along with “KeKe Palmer meme” also had no meaning to them. I…still have not recovered.

The 2027 Tech Policy Press Fellowship application is live! We’re seeking journalists, policy professionals, and researchers to pursue independent reporting and analysis on issues at the intersection of technology and democracy.

I keep thinking about this post and how it basically describes the last several years of my career.

🗼 On July 11, Columbia Journalism School joined @nikkei.com, @sophiauniversitye.bsky.social, Waseda University and Keio University to host "The Future of Journalism" in Tokyo.

“Legal scholars often warn that limiting speech protections would trigger a wild ride on a slippery slope descending from freedom into tyranny. Today… we’re well past the proverbial slippery slope and now onto a ‘cracked and slimy reflecting pool’ metaphor that I refuse to ask AI to help me write.”

Journalists using LLMs should know about the implications for their First Amendment protections. Read the latest from @anikacolliernavaroli.com. www.cjr.org/ask-anika/do...

Today I launched a new column in @columjournreview.bsky.social called Ask Anika where I answer questions about the ethics, law and best practices for journalists using new technologies! For my first missive, I wrote about why feeding unpublished drafts into LLMs gives me cause for concern.

In the first edition of our new advice column, @anikacolliernavaroli.com aroli.com explains why journalists should be wary of feeding drafts into a chatbot. www.cjr.org/ask-anika/sh...

You could work yourself into a lather about the latest dumb thing said by a guy whose whole deal is saying dumb things OR You could check out @sjjphd.bsky.social's A SECOND SIGHT, which is full of history and ideas of people with clear eyes and good sense! www.harpercollins.com/products/a-s...

No one told me that one of the great perks of being a professor is getting to sit on stage and be memorialized forever in the back of every student’s graduation photos in various states of unflattering facial expressions.

*Marks myself as safe from surviving my first year as a professor*

Having MTA police stop a bus and check everyone to make sure they paid their $3 feels absolutely nutty in a city where the Mayor campaigned on free bus rides

“Who gets to be seen as fully human in this world? Our job is to expand that and to push and make that as wide as it can possibly be.” Artist Mimi Ọnụọha's work questions the contradictions of technological progress. Anika Collier Navaroli spoke to her for a special podcast series:

I’ve been a professor for a little over a month now and I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve been mistaken for a student…

There was a lot in that interview. And I’m still struck by Ezra Klein saying that “there was a politics of content moderation that took hold that was more about enforcing boundaries of what were and were not ideas we should be engaged with - rather than about engaging them.” Like. Whet.

I spend a inordinate amount of my time as an Auntie asking nibblings to turn the volume down on various digital devices

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Once upon a time, I told one of these CEOs that the intersection of gaming and politics on his platform was going to be dangerous enough to lead to offline violence and get him dragged before Congress. He told me that I had “a problem hypothesizing issues.”
