Paraguayan journalists trained on ethical and responsible use of AI in newsrooms

Summary

UNESCO reported that more than 100 journalists from across Paraguay have completed a program focused on the ethical use of artificial intelligence in journalism, including modules on AI‑generated content verification, data protection, algorithmic bias and newsroom best practices. The initiative, led by local human‑rights and journalist organizations with support from UNESCO’s International Programme for the Development of Communication, produced a Good Practice Guide on ethical AI use in journalism. The effort highlights growing concern in Latin America over AI’s impact on information integrity and aims to equip media workers to use AI tools critically while safeguarding human rights.
