Communities
of Practice
AI Salon is home to communities of practice serving journalists, researchers, technologists, and public-interest practitioners across Africa and beyond.
Peer-to-peer learning networks for practitioners who care
AI Salon's Communities of Practice (CoPs) are peer-to-peer learning networks for leaders and practitioners working at the intersection of data, journalism, AI, and public-interest technology.
Our largest CoPs are open to individuals across the field, fostering broad peer exchange and shared resources. Smaller communities serve specific constituencies — from investigative data journalists to AI governance researchers and emerging practitioners.
Each community provides space for strategic learning, peer connection, open knowledge sharing, and collective problem-solving — all with the goal of strengthening the future of public-interest work across Africa and beyond.
All Communities of Practice are free to join.
