Most newsrooms already use AI somewhere. Fewer can say what they did with the hours it saved. That is the question we are taking to Singapore for the 6th Asian Media Leaders Summit, WAN-IFRA's meeting of publishers, editors and media executives from across Asia and beyond, at the Conrad Singapore Orchard on 26 and 27 October.
Session 4: the time AI gives back
On Monday 26 October at 12:15, NewsLabs hosts a session with Damjan Franz Lu, editor at Slovenian daily Dnevnik and a journalist with more than three decades in the business. Dnevnik built AI into its daily news production with NewsLabs. Damjan will show which tools stayed, which did not, how much time the team saves on routine news, and why software built for newsrooms does a different job from a general chatbot.
Then the harder part: where that time goes. Dnevnik puts it into the work readers pay for, such as columns, interviews and investigations. It is a case from a newsroom that has already made the move, not a forecast. Full disclosure: Dnevnik is a NewsLabs customer and we are a Silver Sponsor of the summit.
Also on our list
AI runs through the whole programme: the SPUR Coalition on licensing standards for AI use of journalism, Full Fact's AI trust benchmark for LLMs, Ezra Eeman on the AI trends that will shape 2027, Gary Liu on agent security and governance, and a panel on whether agentic AI will change advertising. We are going to listen as much as to talk. If you will be in Singapore, come and find us.
