AI companies control access to information through content moderation, censorship, algorithmic filtering, and model training biases. AI tools shape journalistic research, fact-checking, and even writing in ways that may differ from local legal and cultural norms. AI-generated content and AI-assisted research may lead to a homogenisation of global news. This marginalises local voices, languages, and perspectives; and challenges press freedom.
We always say that the plurality of editorial media builds trust and information resilience. That a diverse offer of news content creates social cohesion and engagement.
In the age of AI, ensuring the accuracy and impartiality of news – while safeguarding press freedom and national sovereignty – requires a collective effort.
