The Pulitzer Prize is once again highlighting investigations that use AI – but we’re talking “regular” AI here, not ChatGPT. NiemanLab has the details.
Summary
- Pulitzer Prizes highlight AI's growing role in investigative journalism, from data mining to visual forensics.
- Reporters used machine learning tools to uncover hidden histories, refute official narratives, and build comprehensive databases.
- Generative AI models were largely absent, as newsrooms rely more on earlier AI techniques for tasks like OCR and object detection.
