ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Internews is seeking a highly skilled and experienced researcher/consultant on generative artificial intelligence (AI) to assist us in navigating the organization’s position regarding generative AI, including how we may be using it (or not) for our own programming. The consultant will research and analyse Internews’ opportunities on machine learning and generative AI applications to enable Internews to apply smart and equitable use of evolving technology, and cultivate an environment of continuous learning. The consultant will also draft comprehensive framework and guidelines pertaining to the ethical and responsible use of generative AI, researching the potential societal, ethical, and legal implications of generative AI technology for Internews and its partners.

In a fast-moving information landscape where media companies embark on using AI-powered content and technology, Internews is exploring solutions that promote equity and empower content creators and rights activists.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so candidates are encouraged to apply soon.

This is a limited-duration, part-time position and is expected to end by 31 December 2023.
