PLUS We are implementing AI strategies in newsrooms all over the world

01/07/2024

We all want to make a big story, however, behind every story lies a tremendous amount of work with the data we have collected. This leads us to the thought that this is the right time to work closely with AI to improve our content creation process.

At DW Akademie as part of the 'AI and The Media' training course with the Şcoala de Jurnalism din Moldova, we are focused on helping Moldovan journalists to seamlessly integrate AI into their newsrooms.

Our invited expert, Paul McNally, founder of Develop AI, shares takeaways on how AI can elevate investigative journalism:

🔹 Data Collection and extraction from websites, social media, and public records
🔹 Textual analysis and natural language processing through analyzing large text datasets
🔹 Detecting anomalies through machine learning algorithms, with tools like Isolation Forests and Autoencoders
🔹 Forecasting future trends through analyzing historical data to predict upcoming trends
🔹 Analyzing emotion or public opinion on social media or other text data
