The Center for Investigative Journalism SCOOP-Macedonia has launched the project “Strengthening the ethical use of generative AI tools and media coverage of AI through journalism education in North Macedonia”.
The project has been launched at the Faculty of Law “Justinianus Primus”-University “Sts. Cyril and Methodius” where, through a series of lectures and trainings, academic staff and students will have the opportunity to learn about the basics of artificial intelligence (AI), generative AI tools, media coverage with the help of artificial intelligence, all through the prism of ethical principles in the use of artificial intelligence.
The project aims to introduce knowledge about the ethical use of artificial intelligence in higher education institutions and newsrooms with the aim of more responsible and professional reporting based on ethical standards in the use of AI. Within the second phase of the project, a series of lectures and trainings with journalists and editors on the topic of the ethical application of AI in newsrooms and media reporting with the help of AI are planned.
The series of trainings for academic staff is an initial activity as part of the project “Strengthening the ethical use of generative artificial intelligence tools and media coverage of AI through journalism education in North Macedonia”, funded by UNESCO’s International Programme for the Development of Communication (IPDC).
