Human Rights Reporting: A Focus on Journalism and AI

Join us for this special panel which will focus on global reporting on human rights, as defined by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, within the evolving landscape of AI and the challenges and opportunities it presents.

Delving into the influence of AI in international media and how the technology can be leveraged for human rights reporting, the panel will address the technology’s computational capacities, analytic capabilities, map making, and case making for reports of human rights abuse and documentation. The event aims to bring together leading experts, scholars, practitioners, and students across the disciplines of journalism, AI, and human rights.
