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. 🧵

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.

No había podido compartir este trabajo de @El_Universal_Mx, @washingtonpost y @lighthousereports. Mostramos que las políticas migratorias y militaristas de de Texas y Mx aumentan el riesgo de morir en el Río Bravo. Se convirtió en el río de los mil muertos

In today’s @washingtonpost & @El_Universal_Mx, the story of the >1K people who drowned in the Rio Grande, 2017-23. Together w/@LHreports, we collected, analyzed data for a year to show a ghastly portrait of the human costs of border policy in both nations. https://t.co/KVVtPCQ1s2

Some additional thoughts on transnational border practices that came up during the investigation🧵

This footage filmed by Justin Hamel for @LHreports in Eagle Pass shows a boat traversing the river at high speeds, producing waves which disrupt crossing groups

Over a year, we collected & analyzed data on drowning deaths along Texas' stretch of the US/Mexico border on the Rio Grande 1/

[Christine Armario @cearmario]

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.

Texas has become the blueprint for the militarization of the US-Mexico border. This politically-driven show of force has sent the Rio Grande death toll soaring. We reveal for first time the true human cost of this https://t.co/K3waBLghFk

[Miriam Ramírez @MiriamRmz86]

En el Río Bravo, el extenso afluente que divide a México de Estados Unidos, han muerto ahogados al menos mil 107 migrantes, entre 2017 y 2023. Los ahogamientos comenzaron a aumentar en 2021 y alcanzaron su registro más crítico en 2022, ese año murieron unas 267 personas 🧵

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.”
