THE JournalismAI team at Polis, the journalism think-tank at the London School of Economics and Political Science and Google News Initiative seek applications for an AI fellowship.
The JournalismAI Fellowship Programme is a free online initiative that brings together journalists and technologists from media organisations worldwide to explore innovative solutions to improve journalism via the use of AI technologies.
Up to 30 journalists and technologists will be selected to join the 2023 Fellowship cohort and work together over the course of six months (June to December) towards building AI-powered solutions that enhance reporting.
To take part in the program, you need to have some experience working on products and/or stories that involve the use of AI technologies.
The organisers say they’ve designed the program so that fellows keep their jobs while they dedicate 8 hours a week to the Fellowship. Teams will be given financial support for project expenses, as well as mentorship and coaching from experts in the JournalismAI community.
The deadline for the submission of applications is April 21, 2023. Interested applicants can apply here.
