JSA Training session on the Use of AI 2560 1422 journalismsciencealliance

The Journalism Science Alliance kicks off its online training series on 4 February, exploring the use of AI in journalism. This first session gathers journalist grantees from the 2025 call.

The trainer, Olaya Argüeso Pérez, brings experience both as an investigative journalist and a trainer, specialising in cross-border journalism and, more recently, AI accountability reporting.

Olaya Argüeso Pérez was recently selected as one of the Pulitzer Center’s AI Spotlight Coaching Grantees. As part of this programme, she received training on reporting about AI, learning how to make this important and rapidly evolving topic accessible not just to specialised reporters but to all journalists. Given AI’s impact across all sectors of society, she believes it’s urgent for every journalist to understand how to investigate AI stories and the associated risks.
