In times of rapid transformation, who do you turn to for trustworthy input? Journalism.co.uk published a list of expert voices to follow at the intersection of AI and Journalism, including three researchers of the AI, Media and Democracy Lab: Natali Helberger, Laurens Naudts, and Sanne Vrijenhoek.
Co-founder of the AI, Media and Democracy Lab, Natali Helberger, is a leading voice in policy research. As a Distinguished Professor in Law and Digital Technology with a focus on AI, she is actively shaping AI research in the Netherlands. She regularly advises national and European law and policymakers, and national governments and regulatory authorities.
Laurens Naudts, post-doctoral researcher at the Institute for Information Law, explores political philosophy, ethics and regulation of artificial intelligence and automation in his research. He critically and socially engages with fellow researchers, civil society, regulators, media, and journalism partners to reflect on novel technologies’ transformative impact on media, democracy, and fundamental rights.
Sanne Vrijenhoek, PhD Candidate at the University of Amsterdam, combines her background in Computer Science with ethical and legal perspectives on AI. In her research, she transforms normative notions of diversity into concrete concepts that can be used to inform recommender system design.
Although Journalism.co.uk acknowledges this as an initial effort to create a comprehensive list of expert voices, it’s a fantastic starting point to identify key voices in the intersection of AI and journalism. The list also features a number of our close collaborators, including Nick Diakopolous, Bronwyn Jones, and Agnes Stenbom.
