The Rise of AI in Investigative Journalism

AI Reinforces Findings of Israel’s Bombardment of Gaza

The New York Times recently used artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen its reporting on Israel’s bombardment of Gaza. By utilizing AI technology, the newspaper’s journalists were able to track satellite images that showed over 200 craters in densely populated civilian areas, believed to be caused by 2,000-pound bombs. This use of AI highlights its ability to assist the media in efficiently and accurately processing large data sets. Furthermore, experts suggest that it could open up new possibilities for smaller newsrooms to undertake investigative work.
