Covering Artificial Intelligence: New Horizons for Journalists Learning in Central Asia
During the forum, important issues related to new opportunities and challenges associated with the use of artificial intelligence were raised. It was noted that today's new technologies are dual-use tools that can be used for good purposes and at the same time can cause harm.
In this regard, the UNESCO Regional Office in Almaty prepared a translation of Reporting on artificial intelligence: a handbook for journalism educators. As part of its journalism education series, UNESCO’s International Programme for the Development of Communication (IPDC) has supported the World Journalism Education Council in commissioning this handbook. The aim is to inspire and empower so that journalism educators can help both journalism students and working journalists do justice to one of the major issues of our times.

Therefore, the decision on how to use these tools is up to us. The event was organized by the Chair on Journalism and Translation studies of , in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
