In the past few years, both as a data journalist and a researcher studying online platforms, I've watched the data disappear. APIs paywalled, transparency tools discontinued, access requests denied without explanation.

New paper out! :) While there is some great reporting about AI out there, we know that news coverage about this topic is often far from ideal. In this study, we explore the issues journalists face when writing about AI, the tools they use, and potential solutions to improve the content produced.

Screenshot of an academic article titled "AI, journalism, and critical AI literacy: exploring journalists’ perspectives on AI and responsible reporting" by Tomasz Hollanek, Dorian Peters, Eleanor Drage, and Raphael Hernandes, published in AI & Society. The abstract summarizes findings from workshops with journalists and experts, discussing AI literacy needs and proposing educational resources. Keywords include AI, journalism, and AI ethics.

My journey at the University of Cambridge continues! I'm excited to share that I'm heading back to school again, this time as a PhD student @camdighum.bsky.social, starting in October. My work will be supported by the generous Harding Distinguished Postgraduate Scholarship.

I was really glad to host a panel at the Oxford China Forum on AI, mental health, and companionship. Exciting topic, in an area with a lot of potential and a lot of concerns ---personally, I'm on the fence about a lot of this stuff and enjoy hearing about it.
