Abstract

Public and private media are undergoing a transformation and adaptation to the digital environment, presenting significant opportunities, such as the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in generating text, voice, images, tools, and technological resources. The automation of processes and the integration of bots contribute to renewing and updating the dynamics of management, content production, and interactions with citizens. However, these advancements also pose risks and threats, such as the potential misuse of AI for disinformation or algorithmic manipulation.

In this context, the transformation of media, redefinition of processes and formats, changes in professional profiles, and discussions about threats to journalism create a highly relevant field for academic reflection. This workshop, supported by the RTVE-USC and CIRCOM-UVigo chairs and the I+D+i projects FAKELocal (UVigo) and VALUEbot (USC), seeks to explore these topics.
