International Federation of Journalists uses GPT chat to call for AI regulation

AI systems can improve the media, but they also pose threats, so in an editorial written using the Chat GPT system itself, the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) called for “Fundamentals of Ethical Development and Regulation of Chatbots”.

“Chatbots run the risk of accidentally spreading disinformation and fake news” and furthermore, could “completely replace journalists, depriving them of job security and leaving many media workers out of work,” warns the IFJ in an April editorial.

For this reason, this press federation proposes “collaboration between the media industry, technology companies and journalists’ unions” to “develop a framework for the ethical development and regulation of chatbots while saving jobs.”

“This editorial has been produced by ChatGPT with a few touches from FIP” adds the International Federation of Journalists, which views artificial intelligence as a possible threat to the profession, but also as a positive tool for journalism.

In this sense, they point out that “conversational bots” can “allow journalists to automate routine tasks such as fact checking, abstracts of articles and translations.

“This can save journalists time so they can focus on more complex tasks, such as investigative journalism and analysis,” the IFJ said in a statement, adding that these AI systems could also “help media outlets interact with their audiences in a more interactive and personalized way.”

In any case, if these systems “are not designed in accordance with the proper rules and regulations, they may contribute to the dissemination of false information and undermine public confidence in journalists and the media”highlights this platform, which highlights the “fundamental” role of journalists’ unions in monitoring this technology.

“Trade unions can also advocate for the need invest in the training and development of journalists to make it easier for them to adapt to new technologies and make sure they are not left behind,” they add.

The differences between the original text written by ChatGPT and the text finally published by the IFJ are minimal. from just two sentences in a five paragraph essay, how could the agency check EFE.

While the show said that ChatGPT is “one of those technologies that’s getting a lot of interest,” IFJ stated that it “makes a lot of headlines”.

And if it were written in the chat that “we can develop a framework for the ethical development and regulation of chatbots, while protecting jobs and the future of journalists,” the union removed the reference to the “future of journalists”.
