“The key question is how far AI will become part of the knowledge infrastructure of the future and the implications for how people encounter news and for what kinds of information they ultimately see.”

Professor Alfred Hermida (PhD Journalism, 2014) is a digital media pioneer. As a journalist, he was an early adopter of the internet and has helped shape the media landscape globally. As a journalism professor at The University of British Columbia, he teaches new technologies, including AI. This summer, Alfred was celebrated as a finalist in the Business and Innovation category at the British Council Study UK Alumni Awards.

Clerkenwell campus looking autumnal in late September! 🍂

We are one week away from welcoming our new students (and future alumni!) to their alma mater, and we can't wait for the buzz on campus.

Until then, a bit of peace and quiet at our beautiful Northampton Square.
