News organizations around the world are exploring how artificial intelligence can strengthen their work, but many are learning in isolation, even as other publishers tackle similar challenges and test similar ideas.
The Lenfest AI Collaborative and Fellowship Program was created to help change that. Through the program, news organizations are experimenting with AI to solve real business and operational challenges while sharing what they build, their lessons and open-source code that others can adapt in their own newsrooms.
To support those efforts, The Lenfest Institute has welcomed Chase Davis as technical lead for the Lenfest AI Fellowship and Sonali Verma as amplification lead. Together, they will help capture, document and share lessons emerging from the fellowship so that news organizations across the industry can learn from one another more quickly, efficiently and effectively.
