  "account": "Chinese leaders attended the World Media Summit in Beijing alongside Western news agency representatives, discussing the importance of journalistic values and combating disinformation. The gathering appeared peculiar, given the geopolitical tensions between Western democracies and China/Russia. One possible reason for the meeting is the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a key agenda item.\n\nThe AI era poses a significant challenge to traditional journalism, as leading AI labs, primarily from the United States, provide end-users with information without relying on media organizations. This development threatens the core business model of the media, which was disrupted by the digital revolution. AI models were trained on the open internet, including copyrighted content without permission, and their outputs include news information, editorializing, and responses.\n\nWestern powers and Russia see journalism differently, with China sympathizing with a different worldview. The US, in the eyes of many at the summit, is facing an economic and political crisis, with the AI bubble potentially bursting and impacting global stability. Meanwhile, Russia is a significant player in the information ecosystem, leveraging AI tools for psychological operations worldwide. China continues to advance its AI technology, while Russia remains constrained by sanctions and lacks technological innovation.",
  "summary": "For the sovereign antagonists of the US and Europe, the AI race has become the new arms race. At the centre of it is China, the only country in the world keeping up with the development of AI technology coming out of the US. Leer más",
