How can you tell if an image you’re looking at is the real deal? This video introduces OpenAI Verify, a research-preview tool that can help identify whether an image carries signals associated with OpenAI-generated content. It explains how to upload an image, read the result, and understand the limits. What you’ll need: - Access to OpenAI Verify - One image to check What you’ll learn: - What OpenAI Verify is designed to check - How provenance signals like SynthID and C2PA can help - Why “no signal found” does not prove an image is real - What reporting steps still matter after using a verification tool Who this video is for: Journalists, editors, producers, newsroom leaders, and educators who want practical ways to use AI in daily newsroom work. No technical background is required. Key takeaway: OpenAI Verify can add one helpful signal to an image check, but the final verification still comes from reporting. Built by OpenAI: Created by OpenAI Academy to help news professionals use AI confidently while keeping editorial judgment, sourcing, and verification at the center.

This video breaks down the difference between ChatGPT Skills and Agents. A Skill is the reusable template: how a newsroom wants a brief structured, what sources should be cited, what claims need review, and what the output should look like. An Agent is the workflow that can use approved tools, gather material, follow instructions, and apply that Skill. What you’ll need: - A ChatGPT account - A repeatable beat or monitoring workflow - A clear idea of what sources the Agent should use and what it should not do What you’ll learn: - The difference between Skills and Agents - How Agents can use Skills - How to design an Agent with a clear beat, job, and limits - How to preserve source links, dates, and human review Who this video is for: Journalists, editors, producers, newsroom leaders, and educators who want practical ways to use AI in daily newsroom work. No technical background is required. Key takeaway: Skills define how the work should be done, while Agents can gather information, use tools, and apply that process for you.
