The Mindplex Podcast Episode 27: Tracey Jaquith - TV News Archive + AI
Tracey Jaquith, Founding Coder of the Internet Archive and co-founder of its TV/News archive, will give us a personal tour of it's ChatGPT/GPT4 implementation and dive into its intricacies.
We will get a sneak peek behind the scenes of the TV/News Archive's ChatGPT implementation. "Chyrons," the short textual overlays at the bottom of news, get OCR scanned on four news channels. GPT4 summarizes the chyrons hourly, cleaning up scanning errors and eliminating ads. Results are posted to Mastodon with an API for researchers. The AI inputs and techniques have been setup to avoid hallucinations.
About the Internet Archive's TV/News Archive:
The Internet Archive's TV/News archive (https://archive.org/tv) indexes over 50 stations in over 30 countries, and provides many different ways to look for specific news stories and video clips and share the information with others. These tools may prove indispensable this year towards verifying the authenticity of news clips, for confirming, corroborating and triangulating the original sources of news stories, and for cross-referencing with partner fact checking sites.
