Finding the needle in the haystack: A.I. in investigative journalism

Date Thursday 12
Time 10:00h -

TRACK T1

Investigative journalism projects often entail searching through vast troves of documents, media and datasets to find stories to tell. Dylan and Teresa work on a team at The New York Times that uses artificial intelligence to uncover stories that wouldn't otherwise get told and to help reporters better find what they're looking for in large collections of data. They will explain the process behind some of their latest investigations, share tools they've built in-house to spread A.I. capabilities and share princples for when and when not to use A.I. in journalism.
