‘As datasets become bigger and more complex, machine learning models that help reporters sort and analyze data are becoming not only more sophisticated but also more accessible to reporters everywhere’
Uses of machine learning for investigative projects so far ‘have not even scratched the surface,’ says John Keefe of Quartz. ICIJ describes Keefe’s advice:
- AI-derived material must still be treated like any other source
- Two online resources for journalists are Quartz AI Studio and Fast.AI
Keefe is a pioneer of machine learning in journalism, after multiple projects at Quartz.
