Lightning Talk Emerging Tools and Technologies: AI, Platforms, and Beyond Plenary session

Speaker

Hans Baechle (PT (Geschaeftsfeldentwicklung PT))

Description

Resource constraints have long limited the diversity of communication formats available to science communicators. This lightning talk presents a practical case study of how AI-assisted content creation enables previously unfeasible communication channels. Using AI-generated podcasts as an example, we demonstrate how automation can transform existing content into accessible audio formats without significant time or personnel investment. This approach not only diversifies our media portfolio but also advances inclusion by offering content in formats that serve different accessibility needs and consumption preferences. We will share insights on implementation, quality considerations, and the strategic potential of AI-supported format diversification for research infrastructure communication.
