Training Workshops

We have trained people in over a dozen countries to use AI efficiently. Our course will bring the world of AI into sharp focus. We will tell you how to use important tools and how to select new ones. It will equip you with the basic knowledge and skills you need to go forward in your journalism. You need to bring your ethics and integrity into how you use AI. You need to be ready for the disinformation that is going to plague the world and what this will mean for democracy.
