GUEST- Clayton Weimers, Executive Director of Reporters Without Borders USA

On 3 May 2025, World Press Freedom Day focused on the profound influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on journalism and media under the theme "Reporting in the Brave New World – The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Press Freedom and the Media." The event highlighted how AI had increasingly shaped the way news was produced, distributed, and consumed, raising important questions about the future of press freedom. While AI offered significant potential for enhancing journalistic processes, it also brought new challenges related to misinformation, censorship, and the loss of human oversight in reporting.
