Teach live online classes for journalists on using AI in reporting without giving up verification or sourcing. You teach in English from a ready class kit, remotely, and you are paid for each class you teach.

### What the work is for

YPAI Learn teaches people, in live classes, to use AI in the work they do. Your classes take journalists from a recorded interview to quotes checked word for word against the tape, and from a large set of documents to story leads verified one by one, and teach them that every quote comes from a source, never from AI.

### The work

- Teach the live class “Transcribe an interview with AI and check every quote against the recording”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
- Teach the live class “Find leads in a large document set with AI and verify each one”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
- Show live how to transcribe and search a recording, then play back each quote you want to use and correct the words, the speaker and the context.
- Walk learners through asking AI for names, dates and payments in a sample document set, then tracing each lead to its page before it goes into a story.
- Help learners trace a viral image or claim to its first appearance, and treat any AI detection result as a hint, never as proof.

### What to expect

- Classes are in English, live online, for reporters and editors worldwide. In the application you can also list other languages you could teach in.
- Each class kit has a minute-by-minute plan, slides, speaker notes, a demo on a sample interview and document set, and a backup recording of the demo.
- You teach remotely from your own computer, with a stable connection, a camera, a microphone and audio good enough to play back a recording.
- You pass an instructor test for each class ahead of teaching it.
- Before a teaching assignment starts, you sign an instructor agreement. It covers pay, confidentiality and how class material may be used.
- Each invitation states the class times and the price learners pay, and you see both before you accept.
- Already have a course on AI for journalists, or want to make one? You can sell your own recorded course on YPAI Learn too. Bring a course you've built, or build one with our kit. It's the same application.

### What you bring

- Published work where you used AI in the reporting and can explain how you checked it.
- Experience training reporters, editing a desk, teaching journalism or running newsroom workshops.
- Patience with journalists who distrust AI, and good reasons to keep some of that distrust.

### You need

- You work or have worked as a journalist or editor, publishing reported work, and use AI in that work.
- Practice in verification, sourcing, source protection and your newsroom's standards for quotes and corrections.
- Fluent spoken English, the language the classes are taught in.
- 18 years or older.

### Good to know

- If your newsroom or employer needs to approve outside work, get that approval before taking an assignment.
- Teaching comes as classes are booked, so how much you teach depends on demand; each invitation states the time involved.
- Applying costs you nothing, and you do not have to buy or take a YPAI Learn course.
