This talk explores the ethical challenges posed by artificial intelligence (AI) in journalism, with a special focus on safeguarding women's rights in an increasingly digital world. High-profile incidents, such as deepfake pornography targeting public figures like Giorgia Meloni and Taylor Swift, along with alarming cases involving AI-generated content in schools, illustrate the urgent need to address the misuse of AI technologies.

Using relevant case studies and scholarly research, this talk will highlight best practices for ethical AI implementation, emphasizing the need for transparency, accountability, and gender-sensitive approaches to technology. Participants will leave with practical strategies for championing responsible AI practices and advocating for an inclusive digital landscape that upholds human dignity and rights.
