JournalismAI Connect

A community to foster collaboration around AI and journalism.

Join journalists, technologists and media business leaders around the world who are  interested in sharing and advancing their knowledge of AI in Journalism. 

A space to exchange ideas, ask for help, share achievements, and support each other as we make sense of, and use, AI in journalism.

AI in journalism is here. Now. We all deserve a seat at the table when it comes to advocating for its responsible use. 

We believe that the future of its development will rely on the quality of the exchange and the contributions made by all those involved in creating quality journalism. 

That’s why we invite all to take part in this collaborative process. JournalismAI commits to providing a safe space  for debate and to redefine what AI means for everyone in the media industry.

We welcome all members who share our vision and principles. And so, we ask all potential members to commit to follow our Code of Conduct.
