Through the LSE JournalismAI Collab, I collaborated with representatives from eight major news organizations worldwide to conduct two experiments using AI to uncover binary gender representations in news publications, both in images and text. We utilized "Retina Face" (a state-of-the-art model introduced in 2020) and the "InsightFace Gender Age Model."
My role
During the project, I was jointly responsible for defining the scope of the experiment, testing the AI models, and shaping the narrative for the final report and website.
Impact
This project was showcased at several prominent events, including the JournalismAI Festival and the News Impact Summit. Furthermore, by experimenting with open-source AI models, more than six newsrooms took the initiative to adapt the models to their own processes.
