DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Avivah Yamani (langitselatan)\nAstronomy communicato
 rs are expected to create articles\, social media posts\, videos\, podcast
 s\, and educational materials for different audiences\, often while workin
 g in small teams with limited time and resources. Artificial intelligence 
 (AI) offers new ways to support this work\, but it also brings new challen
 ges\, especially in multilingual settings where scientific terminology and
  local context matter.\n\nThis presentation explores how AI can be used as
  a communication assistant rather than a replacement for people. It can he
 lp summarize scientific papers\, adapt content for different platforms\, d
 raft scripts\, improve readability\, and generate ideas for educational ma
 terials\, making it easier for small outreach teams to create content in a
  variety of formats.\n\nAt the same time\, AI has clear limitations. It ma
 y translate scientific concepts too literally\, use inconsistent astronomy
  terminology\, or lose important meaning when adapting content into Bahasa
  Indonesia and other regional languages. It can also oversimplify research
  or produce scientifically inaccurate information. These are reminders tha
 t AI-generated content should always be checked before it is shared with t
 he public.\n\nThe presentation introduces a practical workflow in which AI
  supports routine tasks while communicators remain responsible for choosin
 g reliable sources\, checking scientific accuracy\, using consistent termi
 nology\, and making the final editorial decisions. Drawing on practical ex
 perience from independent astronomy outreach projects in Indonesia\, the t
 alk shares lessons that can be adapted by planetariums\, astronomy clubs\,
  educators\, and outreach organizations across Southeast Asia. The goal is
  not to replace people with AI\, but to show how AI can help small teams c
 ommunicate astronomy more efficiently while maintaining accuracy\, local r
 elevance\, and audience trust.\n\nhttps://indico.narit.or.th/event/238/con
