According to Luke Ortega, spokesperson for the Embassy and Consulates, the event aims to stimulate critical thinking and deepen the understanding of the media’s role in shaping public discourse. One of the focuses of the course is the threat of misinformation to democratic processes.

With AI, new forms of misinformation emerge, and therefore it is crucial that journalists know how to handle these challenges. The course will address resources for election coverage, copyright violations, evolving business models, and, of course, ethical considerations in integrating AI tools into political reporting.
