The Al Accountability Fellowships seek to support staff and freelance journalists working on in-depth AI 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, hiring, and more.
While each Fellow will work on an individual reporting project, the Fellowship involves periodic discussions and trainings with the other Fellows. One of the key benefits of the Fellowship is the possibility to access a learning community of journalists facing similar reporting challenges as they pioneer the algorithmic accountability reporting field.
Pulitzer Centre seeks to support journalists and newsrooms that represent the diversity of the communities affected by AI, predictive, and surveillance technologies. Sharing of methodologies and lessons learned so each story can serve as a blueprint for other newsrooms pursuing similar projects is encouraged.
WORTH
- The eight-months-long Fellowship will provide journalists up to $20,000 to pursue their reporting project. The funds can be used to pay for records requests, travel expenses, data analysis, and stipends.
- In addition, the Fellows will have access to mentors and relevant training with a group of peers that will help strengthen their reporting projects.
ELIGIBILITY
- Staff or freelance journalists working on a wide range of platforms, including print, radio, video, and multimedia.
