The Council of Europe's Intergovernmental Steering Committee on Media and the Information Society adopted new guidelines for the responsible implementation of AI systems in journalism practices.
The Council of Europe announced on Dec. 29 that it will put into effect guidelines for the “responsible implementation” of artificial intelligence (AI) in journalistic practices.
The Council’s Intergovernmental Steering Committee on Media and the Information Society(CDMSI) adopted the guidelines originally released on Nov. 30, saying they are an “important contribution” to promoting a rule of law-based and human rights-compliant public communication sector.
The guidelines cover AI systems in various stages of journalistic production, such as the initial decision to use AI and media organizations acquiring AI tools and incorporating it into the newsroom.
