Reporters Without Borders organization presents a document related to the use of smart technology in journalism.
The international non-profit organization Reporters Without Borders, in collaboration with other media associations, published a guideline document outlining the principles of using artificial intelligence in journalism.
According to the document presented in Paris, artificial intelligence must respect human rights, peace, and democracy, and must be in line with aspirations and common values. The German Journalists Association was one of the other signatories to this document.
This document indicates that artificial intelligence is considered a revolution in how information is obtained, facts are researched, stories are narrated, and ideas are disseminated, and that it will have a significant impact on the field of journalism.
Artificial intelligence systems are characterized by their ability to revolutionize the global information scene based on their design, control, and implementation. In this context, the charter sets out ten fundamental rules that journalists and professional media institutions must adhere to.
The document emphasizes the importance of upholding core journalistic values such as accuracy, fairness, impartiality, and independence in using artificial intelligence systems. Editorial teams must also clearly define the objectives and scope of using artificial intelligence systems, along with their conditions, and monitor their impact.
