Tarbell Center opens grants for AI reporting

The Tarbell Center for Artificial Intelligence Reporting is now accepting proposals.

The Center is looking for original, in-depth reporting on artificial intelligence and its societal impacts. It’s particularly interested in reporters investigating leading AI companies and potential harms, scrutinizing national and international policymaking, unpacking the integration of AI in the government and military, explaining AI capabilities and safeguards, and analyzing trends that foretell how these systems might reshape society (or not).

Funding can cover any reporting cost, including journalists’ time. Tarbell offers grants of $1,000 to $15,000 to support original reporting published in established outlets, whether from freelancers or staff.

It primarily focuses on written journalism, but it also funds journalism in other formats.

The deadline to apply is Sept. 14. For more information, go here.
