PRESS FREEDOM AND MEDIA IN THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ERA

As the world commemorates World Press Freedom Day on May 3, 2025, under the theme "Reporting in the Brave New World – The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Press Freedom and the Media," it is crucial to reflect on how AI is reshaping the journalism landscape. In an era marked by the rise of misinformation and the rapid spread of fake news, the core values of accuracy, verification, and objectivity are increasingly being challenged. The growing integration of artificial intelligence in news production has raised critical questions about how to preserve journalistic integrity and uphold press freedom in a digital age. With the democratization of content creation, the role of trusted and credible journalism has never been more important in ensuring informed societies. This discussion explores the influence of artificial intelligence on press freedom, journalistic standards, and the media’s responsibility to deliver accurate and reliable information in an age of widespread misinformation.
