Senior Reporter, Artificial Intelligence

The Verge is looking for a senior reporter to cover the artificial intelligence beat, and work primarily with their policy and tech teams.

You’ll spend your days finding big stories and breaking down enormously complex topics around how AI is being developed, addressed by lawmakers, incorporated by consumers and creators, and changing the world–for good and ill.

As the Verge’s primary AI senior reporter, your duties will be a mix of reporting on the news of the day and digging into longer-lead investigations that will drive news cycles of their own.

Responsibilities

• Developing your beat with coverage from news to larger reports and analysis.
• Working across our teams to find and explain stories around artificial intelligence.
• Develop and nourish sources in the AI community and at the major companies investing in AI, including OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft.
• Proactively pitch news and analysis, and help vet stories.
• Help us maintain our collaborative and ambitious team culture.

Qualifications

• Extensive experience reporting in the AI space.
• Established contacts in the AI space.
• Strong knowledge of artificial intelligence and the hardware that powers it.
• Strong writing skills, including the ability to identify compelling angles and develop them effectively.
• An exceptional grasp of writing about culture, particularly the ways AI is transforming culture.
