THISDAY’s Adeniyi Seeks Responsible AI Use in Newsrooms as China-led BRNN Deepens Media Cooperation.
Olusegun Adeniyi, has called for the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in newsrooms across the globe, with the Belt and Road News Network (BRNN) Council also pledging to deepen media cooperation among member organisations.
At the 4th Council Meeting of the BRNN which commenced in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, People’s Republic of China, yesterday, the organisation also agreed to foster joint reporting on poverty reduction, food security, digital economy and green transition, and curb the proliferation of disinformation.
Besides, the meeting reviewed the progress of the network and adopted a six-point joint statement on advancing high-quality development of BRNN endeavours, read by Council Chair and President of People’s Daily, China, Mr Yu Shaoliang.
Speaking at the session, Adeniyi who highlighted the progress made by the organisation in the last seven years, recalled being one of the 40 founding members of the BRNN Council when the network was established in 2019. “What that growth reveals most eloquently is that in a divided world, serious media organisations still want to talk to one another. That is why dialogue among the media matters,” Adeniyi said. He argued that accuracy remains the only currency in journalism, especially in an age of disinformation, stressing that the rising global contacts being harnessed by THISDAY and Arise Television have further given proper context to their coverage of world events.
