EmailIn late 2023 and early 2024, Aspen Digital put out a public call for submissions of excellent descriptions of artificial intelligence (AI) in reporting from 2023. From hundreds of excerpts representing over 80 different publications ranging from student papers to international mainstream press, we chose 15 winners.
Along with adapting software to transmit and store the data, Aigbekaen used a computer vision technique called semantic image segmentation to categorize all the pixels of each image as greenery, buildings, sky or vehicles. Then he used computational modeling to assess how well the composition of an image could predict levels of CO2, particulate matter and noise pollution.

What makes it great
In this excerpt, Sharlach emphasizes a human actor (Aigbekaen), specifies the type of technology being used (semantic image segmentation), and explains what the technology is being used to do (to categorize all the pixels of each image). The author also uses language appropriate to non-living systems (“categorize” and “assess”) and adds detail to make the use case accessible to readers.
