• The Australian ABC has published its findings from a project where the broadcaster used AI to try to optimise episode titles and descriptions. AI isn’t better than humans, the research discovers; but it can be useful for summarising and inspiration. Highlighting cultural differences, it also appeared difficult to stop AI from using a US English style of writing.
• Podcasting Made Simple Live is a virtual event taking place this Thursday, from 11.30am to 4pm Eastern.
