The impact of artificial intelligence will radically change how we produce and consume media content. Its consequences will be even more significant for the activities of media and cultural organizations working in or with the Global South.

The event will invite experts who will try, if not to give answers, to clarify what we could expect from the future, focussing on topics such as the impact of AI on journalism in authoritarian systems, the status of evidence images, feminist movements in the MENA region, as well as the labor conditions behind it.
