From the Tow-Knight Center For Journalism (CUNY):
As artificial intelligence reshapes how people find and consume news, a new report from the Tow-Knight Center for Journalism Futures at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY examines what it will take to ensure the public has access to reliable, relevant information.
The Three-Layer Cake: Public-Interest Information in an AI-Intermediated Age draws on a year of convenings and conversations with journalists, technologists, funders, investors, and other experts. It considers how journalism must evolve as AI systems increasingly stand between information providers and the people they serve.

The report outlines three connected layers: the products that identify what people want to know, the systems that synthesize answers, and the organizations that produce the underlying reporting. Each layer, the report argues, requires attention and distinct strategies to serve the public interest.
The report identifies several priorities for collective action, including shared standards that allow sourcing, context, and other essential information to travel with individual facts as AI systems use them. It also calls for greater visibility into how those systems select information and frame answers.

Journalism doesn’t have to do this work alone, nor should it. Libraries, archives, museums, encyclopedias and scholarly publishers have the same goal of reliable public access to information, and need to address many of the same challenges. Scholarly publishers are working on ways for sections and figures in a paper to carry their own source information . They are natural partners on the question of how to move knowledge through the synthesis layer, but historically journalism has held itself apart from these other knowledge creation and custodian professions.

Science publishers, archives and libraries are allied knowledge creators and custodians, facing the same distribution challenges. Their approaches and perspectives to them should be a part of the conversation journalism has about these issues.
