Using artificial intelligence in news intelligently: towards responsible algorithmic journalism

News organisations all across Europe are facing the same challenge: how to make use of artificial intelligence in a way that saves costs and increases users’ experience, without compromising on quality or the provision of diverse and relevant news. In order to share knowledge about the optimal use of data and algorithmic news recommendations, B. Bodó (University of Amsterdam), N. Helberger (University of Amsterdam), M.Z. van Drunen and J.K. Sørensen (Aalborg University) together initiated the 2018 Amsterdam Symposium on News Personalisation, which brought together journalists, editors, technologists and academics to discuss the issue. Here, M.Z. van Drunen, N. Helberger, J.E. Möller (University of Amsterdam) and M.B. Bastian (University of Amsterdam) report back from the symposium.
