About the Event
Artificial intelligence is changing our everyday lives, as well as how we work, learn, communicate, and make decisions. With the intensive use of AI systems comes an urgent question: How can AI be used to benefit people without harming them? Who will explain to the public how these technologies work, what values they embody, and what power they possess?
In the conference series Reporting the Machines, ProPublica brings together journalists, scientists, civil society and political experts, AI developers, and startup founders. Together, they will discuss responsibility in the design and application of AI systems, as well as the role of journalism in highlighting opportunities, risks, power structures, and digital sovereignty.
