About Me

Ernest Kung is the Artificial Intelligence Product Manager for the Associated Press based in Los Angeles. Previously, he was an award-winning television news producer for nearly 15 years. In January 2019, he paused his newsroom career, packed his bags and moved to Aotearoa New Zealand to pursue a master’s degree. The idea was to shift into the technology development side of news and make it easier for journalists to do their jobs. In April 2020, he earned a Master of Business Information Systems with Distinction from the University of Canterbury where his research project was on Artificial Intelligence in Journalism.

Ernest worked for the Paramount-owned station in Los Angeles, along with CBS affiliates in San Diego and Portland, Oregon. He earned a Bachelors in Broadcast Journalism from the University of Southern California.
