GIJC23 – What Does AI Have to Do with Investigative Journalism? Everything!

If we follow the headlines, AI is either going to kill us all or solve all our problems. Meanwhile, in the real world, algorithms deployed in hospitals, schools, courts, and even refugee camps are creating new forms of discrimination and exclusion among the most vulnerable citizens. Actual, life-changing harm, not doomsday futuristic scenarios. In this talk, we will reflect on the responsibility of investigative reporters to hold AI and its makers to account and will take inspiration from journalists who are ‘co-opting’ AI for good to tackle big data investigations.
