Journalism’s New Frontier: An Analysis of Global AI Policy Proposals and Their Impacts on Journalism

The Center for News, Technology and Innovation reviewed 188 national and regional AI strategies, laws, and policies around the world to determine how they impact journalism. We focused our analysis on how regulatory activity addresses seven policy components that are particularly likely to impact journalism. Of the 188 strategies, policies, and laws we reviewed, 20 specifically mentioned journalism; 20 addressed freedom of speech or expression; 64 addressed manipulated or synthetic content; 92 addressed algorithmic discrimination and bias; 49 addressed intellectual property and copyright; 124 addressed transparency and bias; 107 addressed data protection and privacy; and 76 addressed public information and awareness.
