Towards responsible AI in local journalism
AI applications for various activities along the news value chain offer opportunities for local media to better cope with the economic and societal challenges they face. In this project we develop and evaluate prototypes of responsible AI applications in local newsrooms and we investigate the innovation processes to analyze intra-organizational conditions that facilitate or constrain responsible AI.
