Journalists in Tanzania are already using generative AI tools, but most have had no training in how to use them without putting their newsrooms at risk. With support from the NetHope Connected AI grant, the Digital Agenda for Tanzania Initiative (DA4TI) ran a two-day workshop in Iringa, Tanzania, for journalists and civic media practitioners from the Southern Highlands, a region that capacity-building programs rarely reach.
The workshop helped participants use AI responsibly: verifying what it produces, disclosing when they use it and remaining accountable for the final work.
The case study covers how the training was designed, what it covered, the challenges in delivering it and what comes next.
