AI Innovator Collaborative —July 2026: Chatbots and their informational needs

Join us for the July edition of the AI Innovator Collaborative, a monthly gathering for ONA members experimenting with AI. For the July session, we'll be joined by Jay Barchas-Lichtenstein, Senior Research Manager at the Center for News, Technology & Innovation, to talk about how the public is using AI chatbots to get informed. Jay will briefly share what CNTI learned about the public's chatbot use and their information needs and then facilitate a conversation about how this work relates to your specific context. What do you already know about how your audience is using AI chatbots? What do you wish you knew? And how can that knowledge shape your strategy going forward?
