TIME is significantly increasing its investment in artificial intelligence and technology coverage, announcing new staff appointments and the launch of an AI leadership forum in Washington D.C. The publication aims to be a leading voice in reporting on the evolving landscape of AI and its societal impact.
Naomi Nix has joined TIME as a Senior Correspondent based in Washington, D.C., as of August 17. Nix previously spent four years at The Washington Post covering Meta and the social media industry, with a focus on how major platforms influence American democracy and global politics. Her earlier work includes reporting on tech lobbying for Bloomberg News and covering education and local government for The 74, The Star-Ledger, and the Chicago Tribune. At TIME, Nix will contribute to the "In the Loop" AI newsletter, write features and investigations, and cover policy, regulation, the political influence of technology, and the connection between Silicon Valley and Washington.
Further expanding its international AI reporting, Manisha Ganguly will join as a Senior Correspondent based in London, starting November 1. Ganguly, an investigative journalist known for her work using open-source intelligence (OSINT) to report on war crimes, comes to TIME from The Guardian. She previously established OSINT investigative practices at the BBC and holds a PhD in the subject's impact on journalism. Ganguly will focus on investigations and features related to AI and national security, profile key figures in AI policy, and contribute to TIME's AI coverage.
Harry Booth, who joined TIME in 2024, is transitioning to Staff Writer and will relocate to San Francisco in January. Booth has been instrumental in TIME's AI, Philanthropy, and Climate franchises, as well as its Best Inventions coverage. He was a co-author of a recent cover story on Anthropic and its interactions with the Trump administration. In San Francisco, Booth will lead TIME's on-the-ground coverage of the AI industry, focusing on research labs, major tech companies, and startups.
These appointments and role changes are intended to strengthen TIME's existing AI reporting team, which includes correspondents Billy Perrig Perrigo in London and Andrew Chow in Washington. Senior Editor Dayana Sarkisova will continue to lead the global coverage of AI leaders, companies, and their societal effects, with Charlie Campbell contributing from Asia.
In addition to staffing changes, TIME plans to relaunch its AI newsletter, "In the Loop," with a new format in the coming weeks, with ambitions to expand it to a daily briefing later in the year. Building on AI events held in Davos, Cannes, New York, and San Francisco, TIME will host its first TIME100 AI Leadership Forum in Washington, D.C., next year. The publication is also exploring international opportunities to convene AI leaders.
TIME's recent AI-focused work includes the release of its annual TIME100 AI list and a cover story on OpenAI. The magazine recognized "The Architects of AI" as its Person of the Year in December. This strategic expansion underscores TIME's commitment to in-depth reporting on artificial intelligence across all platforms, emphasizing access, accountability, and critical examination of AI's potential and risks.
