Details

Kids At Risk Action (KARA) aims to enhance the accessibility and dissemination of its extensive library of child abuse research and articles by converting them into AI-assisted podcasts. This project addresses the challenge of reaching a broader audience through engaging audio content that can be easily shared on social media platforms. By leveraging AI technology, the project seeks to transform written content into compelling podcasts, making critical information more accessible to the public and raising awareness about child abuse issues. The goal is to create a series of podcasts that maintain the integrity and depth of the original research while being engaging and informative for listeners. This project provides learners with the opportunity to apply their skills in AI, audio production, and content adaptation, ensuring the final product is both informative and impactful.

Deliverables

The project deliverables include a series of AI-assisted podcasts based on KARA's existing research and articles. Each podcast should be approximately 20 minutes long and cover key topics from the original content. The team will also provide a distribution plan for sharing the podcasts on various social media platforms. Additionally, a brief report outlining the process, challenges, and recommendations for future podcast conversions will be submitted.
