Artificial Intelligence (AI) in journalism is a hotly debated topic evoking both enthusiasm and concern. Some see the dawn of an age with a new medium, others warn of the death of the media. A closer look at this issue, however, reveals that, so far, AI’s role for investigative data research has been largely overlooked in this debate. Is AI a threat to data research as a whole or only when used without much reflection? Should we be suspicious of this technology or could it be part of an investigative method? Pulitzer Prize winner Christo Buschek will engage in a discussion about these and more questions that have yet to be answered.
