The current wave of AI hype is centred on Large Language Models (LLMs).
Are LLMs useful for investigative and data journalism? At the Guardian our conclusion is that they are - but only for tasks that are more easily checked than done. LLMs in their current form are not reliable, all their work must be checked, so this a win only if the checking is easier than doing the work yourself.
We will look at examples of real Guardian stories which were LLM-assisted  - with varying degrees of success.
