My colleagues and I used A.I. to sift through over 400 hours of video recordings and pinpoint salient moments that helped inform this piece's reporting.

It was great to collaborate with Alexandra Berzon, Nick Corasaniti, Duy Nguyen, Juliana Castro Varon and Matt Ruby on this investigation.
How we reviewed the videos The Times obtained more than 400 hours of video recordings of private meetings held by the Election Integrity Network and related groups over the past three years. To report this article, we reviewed the footage ourselves and used artificial intelligence to help identify particularly salient moments. First, we used a machine-learning model to transcribe the recordings, which totaled almost five million words. Then, to sift through such voluminous material, we employed several large-language models. That allowed us to search the transcripts for topics of interest, look for notable guests and identify recurring themes. We then manually reviewed each passage and used our own judgment to determine the meaning and relevance of each clip. A.I. was used only to assist our reporting process. Every quote and video clip from the meetings in this article was checked against the original recording to ensure it was accurate, correctly represented the speaker’s meaning and fairly represented the context in which it was said.
