Gamechanger ? BBC DG Tim Davie got an hour of coverage on the UK-dangly-bit of BBC World News this morning, for his speech at the Lowry in Salford, entitled The BBC - A Catalyst for Building Trust.
In word score, 'trust' hits 53; 'jeopardy' only got one outing. "Agentic AI" got three - yet no explanation pops up when you search the BBC website with that phrase. Unpick this, dear reader; "We want to empower audiences as they seek answers - combining agentic AI with trusted BBC journalism to create a new gold standard fact checking tool."
New stuff ? Something about 'supercharging' Salford; a renewed bid for £400m p.a. to fund World Service entirely from taxation, promising a global reach of 1 billion; Artificial Intelligence bots to help with school exam revision and parenting; more 'local democracy' reporters funded, more 'investigative' reporters hired around the regions; and a sort of BBC Chromecast, as, presumably, tv transmitters are switched off in the next decade.
