Hello!


This guide is designed for journalists who are brand new to artificial intelligence (AI), but want to know the basics of how it works, how journalists are using it, and why everyone is talking about it right now.

  • Chapter 1 covers the very basics of AI and machine learning. 
  • Chapter 2 covers the ways journalists can use AI, and how to approach reporting on AI.
  • Chapter 3 covers some of the myths that drive the AI hype cycle.
  • Chapter 4 is a short glossary of common phrases that come up when reading about AI.

Chapters 1-3 are accompanied by “homework,” which are guided lists of resources built around what you might be curious about.
