Lighthouse Reports , a winner of last year’s IJ4EU Impact Award, earned an honourable mention for its Suspicion Machines investigation into inscrutable algorithms.
The Dutch non-profit collaborated with newsrooms across Europe to uncover the discriminatory effects of welfare surveillance algorithms and highlight the lack of transparency in how governments deploy these secretive AI systems.
The jury praised the project for its impressive methodology, setting a new standard for data journalism by effectively blending investigative reporting with tech-driven approaches.
