THE Pulitzer Center is organising and inviting entries for the AI Accountability Fellowships.
The programme seeks to support journalists working on AI (artificial intelligence) accountability stories that examine governments and corporations’ uses of predictive and surveillance technologies to guide decisions in policing, medicine, social welfare, the criminal justice system, and more.
Interested journalists must apply for a reporting project they wish to pursue during their fellowship.
Staff and freelance journalists can participate in a fellowship and receive up to US$20,000 to pursue a reporting project.
Enterprise and accountability projects that use a variety of approaches – from data analysis to records requests, and shoe-leather reporting – and delve into the real-world impact of algorithms on policy, individuals, and communities are preferred.
This year, the programme seeks to support at least one project that examines transparency and governance in relation to AI.
The 10-month fellowships are remote, begin in September and continue until July 2025.
Journalists can be based anywhere.
The deadline for the submission of application is August 10, 2024.
Interested applicants can apply here.
