AI developers should counter misinformation and protect fact-based news, global media groups say
The Associated Press
A global group of broadcasters and publishers is calling on artificial intelligence developers to make sure their technology serves the public by helping to counter misinformation and protect the value of fact-based news.
The Geneva-based European Broadcasting Union, an association of public broadcasters that’s also known for running the popular Eurovision Song Contest, says it and the World Association of News Publishers and other partners want to cooperate with tech companies behind AI.
The group says thousands of public and private media in broadcast, print and online formats have joined the News Integrity in the Age of AI initiative, whose five core steps were announced Monday at the World News Media Congress in Krakow, Poland.
