The organization “Reporters Without Borders” and the Alliance of General Information Media, which unites about 300 daily news from France, have joined forces to create an artificial intelligence tool for the benefit of journalists, writes AFP, reports News.ro.

Reporters Without Borders and the Common Information Media Alliance want to develop an “open source” tool that will allow journalists to quickly find the information they need, more complex information, and ensure that this information is not reused by artificial intelligence without specifying the original source. on News.ro.

The term “open source” means that the tool’s code can also be used and adapted by anyone, especially the media sphere.

“The Spinoza project aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) tool by and for journalists to guarantee intellectual property rights to their publications,” the quoted source said.

The NGO said the first prototype could appear by the end of 2023 and would focus on climate change information organized “in databases consisting of scientific papers, legal texts, as well as press articles voluntarily provided by newspapers”. , News.ro announces.

As tools and technologies become more accessible to the public, artificial intelligence can pose a risk of manipulation, which can affect the veracity of information. An example of this practice is “deep fakes”, which can be used to manipulate information and cause confusion or misinformation among the public.

News.ro notes that Nobel Peace Prize laureate journalist Maria Ressa presented the Paris Charter on Artificial Intelligence.

The charter, presented at the Paris Peace Forum, concerns the establishment of common standards for journalists. The charter, drawn up by a committee set up by RSF and chaired by Ressa, contains ten points, among which “human judgment must remain at the center of editorial decisions”. (Source: Dreamstime.com)
