Purpose of this study: This study aims to analyze how artificial intelligence (AI) is being used in media sector workplaces. It is being carried out by researchers Pegah Moradi, Caitlin Petre and Julia Ticona in cooperation with The NewsGuild and NABET-CWA.
We define AI as computer processing that mimics human intelligence, behavior, and decision making. This can include “generative AI,” which is AI that can create content (text, images, video, computer code) by learning patterns from large training datasets.
Survey findings will assist in understanding how workers are engaging with and responding to AI in media sector workplaces, what differences in AI use exist in different kinds of workplaces, and how unions can best respond to AI-related worker priorities.
Who should complete this survey?: We invite you to fill out this survey if you meet all of the following criteria:
- You are a current member of either the NewsGuild or NABET working in the media industry

Optional Follow-Up Interview: At the end of the survey, you will be asked if you are also willing to be contacted for a follow-up interview. If so, you will be prompted to enter contact information.
