My name is Nicolas Kayser-Bril, I am a journalist and a scholar.
I was one of the first in Europe to practice and reflect on data-driven journalism. I was in charge of datajournalism at OWNI, in Paris, in 2009-2010. I then cofounded and led Journalism++, a pan-European agency for datajournalism. I work as head of Journalism for AlgorithmWatch since 2019, where I research and narrate the impact of Artificial Intelligence on our societies.
My research interests range from communication to food studies and the sociology of work, but my focus is always set on the practicalities of identity-building and on the conditions for truth-seeking. I wrote several books and academic articles in French, English and German.
