The Changing Landscape of Media in Asia

The media landscape is experiencing rapid change due to a revolution in information technology and mass disruption to traditional media business models. The growth of AI, competition from social media, and changing audience preferences promise to have a profound impact on how we obtain news, what news we see, and the integrity of news. In this new environment, separating fact from fake poses an increasing challenge for media professionals and audiences alike.
How will the growth of AI impact traditional journalism practices in Asia? What can media organizations do to mitigate the growth of ‘deepfake’ technology and technology-enabled misinformation? Should the region start now to regulate the impact of AI? And what are the big trends affecting media business development and freedom in Asia?
