Description
The AI Reporting Grants, offered by the Pulitzer Center as part of its AI Accountability Network, fund journalists to produce in-depth, impactful stories investigating how artificial intelligence systems are designed, sold, and deployed globally. The program encourages nuanced reporting on the processes behind AI models, their real-world applications, and the accountability of governments and corporations using predictive and surveillance technologies. Supported projects may address a range of issues, including environmental impacts, labor and human rights, governance and equity, and the actors involved in AI supply chains. Grant recipients join a global community of journalists, access resources and shared methodologies, and contribute to investigations that can drive policy and societal change.
