Most reporting on AI examines worst-case systems deployed under the guise of efficiency. But what would a good faith effort at Ethical AI look like? For two years, we’ve been looking over the shoulder of a city trying to do things differently.

Satellite imagery analysis corroborates whistleblowers' testimony exposing widespread greenwashing across the Philippines’ national reforestation program. @DavaoToday @thibi_co and @LHReports prove instead of restoring forests, it’s often fueling deforestation. 🧵
Like Jack said :))
Excited to be at #NICAR25 in Minneapolis the next days!

Norway’s criminal justice system has often received high praise for its equity and fairness; it has rarely been under scrutiny in data-driven criminal justice journalism.

An investigation by @washingtonpost @LHreports + @El_Universal_Mx found more migrant drownings than the U.S. or Mexico have reported.
Nowhere was the toll higher than in Eagle Pass, a popular crossing point where Texas's border crackdown is concentrated.

I do a lot of FOIA and I’m used to stonewalling. But Sweden surprised me. After 3 years of telling me no, a high level official at Sweden’s welfare agency @fk_media accidentally left me on cc, writing “Now we must hope that we are done with him.”
