Southeast Asia plays a key role in AI development in the world. From data annotation and data centers to everyday apps, people living here play a role in the supply chain either a part of the backend of the system or are consumers. 

As tech companies race to scale AI products, their effects on labor, education, and the information ecosystem are becoming increasingly consequential. Political lobbying is expected to intensify as government regulations are either stuck or are trying to catch up. 

AI development across the region is being driven by an industry that remains largely opaque to the public. While governments and tech companies promote AI as a driver of innovation, far less attention has been paid to the labor, environmental, governance, and information ecosystem costs that underpin its development and deployment. 

Many newsrooms lack the specialized knowledge, technical skills, and cross-border networks needed to investigate these issues in depth. While key investigations have come out, these are typically done by freelance reporters.

This project will strengthen the capacity of select newsrooms in four countries to produce rigorous, public-interest reporting on AI accountability. Drawing on its expertise in AI accountability reporting, the Pulitzer Center will provide training, financial support, and mentorship to participating newsrooms.

By the end of the project, the newsrooms will produce a series of multimedia reports on AI accountability projects and showcase their work in a roundtable discussion.
