Exclusive interview with Trust Conference speaker, Sannuta Raghu

"Many AI tools weren't designed specifically for journalism and the rigor it involves. They need to be taught that, and there's work happening on this front, both in open source and within specific organisations."

--Sannuta Raghu, Head of AI at Scroll Media

The breakneck evolution of AI presents both possibilities and challenges for newsrooms globally.

Yet those in the Global South face unique barriers, including algorithmic biases that threaten to deepen already existing digital divides.

We recently sat down with award-winning Indian journalist, Sannuta Raghu, to explore how her grasp of AI's limitations, as well as her audience's needs, help to shape her pioneering technological strategies.
