Humans in the Loop

In this episode of People vs. Algorithms, hosts Brian Morrissey and Alex discuss the development of a "human‑in‑the‑loop" AI system for media production, detailing how they built a personal knowledge‑wiki, layered multiple language models for extraction, fact‑checking, and writing, and used prompts to generate daily briefings. They highlight the importance of institutional memory and iterative prompt engineering to overcome AI’s imperfections, sharing concrete examples from journalism and other industries. The conversation underscores how combining human editorial judgment with AI can create a dynamic editorial brain that scales content creation while preserving brand principles.
