Introduction to AI for Data-Driven Investigations

This workshop offers a practical introduction to using AI for investigative journalism, focusing on real-world reporting applications. It shows how investigative journalists can use AI tools to explore complex information and develop story ideas. It has been conducted by Jaemark Tordecilla, a journalist, media advisor, and technologist who has worked with dozens of newsrooms around the world on AI systems and newsroom innovation. He covers workflows for extracting structure from text, cleaning data, identifying patterns, and checking findings with greater speed and depth, with demonstrations drawn from reporting on audit reports, public budgets, climate spending, and ad library data. ----------------------- The Global Investigative Journalism Network is an international association of journalism organizations that support the training and sharing of information among investigative and data journalists—with special attention to those from repressive regimes and marginalized communities.
