AI and automation increasingly accepted in the media industry

The NRW Media Authority has published a comprehensive study on the acceptance of process automation and artificial intelligence in the media industry. The results show that almost all respondents already use technologies based on AI or automation processes in their everyday work. Of particular interest is the high acceptance of AI-generated content among users, who are often no longer able to distinguish between content created by humans or machines. This raises important questions regarding the transparency and labeling of such content.

For young people, this means a media landscape in which AI is playing an increasingly important role. It is therefore all the more important that they learn to deal critically with information and question the origin and creation of media content. The study emphasizes the need for clear labelling requirements and further regulations to ensure the credibility and quality of the media. Educational institutions and parents play a key role in preparing young people for this new reality and empowering them to deal responsibly with AI-generated content.
