Named after Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton, the award recognizes exceptional reporting that investigates how AI technologies may create safety risks, including catastrophic and systemic harms, and that examines safeguards, policies and technical measures to mitigate those risks. With a $10,000 prize, the program aims to incentivize nuanced, evidence-based coverage of AI safety that informs the public and policymakers. The inaugural shortlist was announced in April 2026.
