00:00Because if any journalists are not fighting or push back, who is?
00:07That's the work of journalists.
00:09There are some things that AI can never do.
00:13They can't go to communities, they can't talk to people,
00:17they can't verify information on the ground.
00:41What do you think?
00:47Wow, I mean, honestly, at this point, I try to learn from younger people.
00:53Because I'm not getting one in years.
00:58I'm not quite old, but I'm mid-career.
01:01So you get stuck with the same tricks sometimes
01:05if you're not willing to see what's going on around.
01:10And I'm very excited about the energy that young people are bringing.
01:15They're full of ideas, very passionate, very energetic.
01:19It's just me when I was young.
01:20So hopefully, I can learn something from the new generation as well.
01:35This information has been going on for a while.
01:39not only in the years of AI, even before.
01:42It's a unique phenomenon in that because of social media,
01:47because of the erosion of trust in news and media institutions,
01:56people are more susceptible to fake news or disinformation.
02:02I don't have any answer to how to deal with fake news.
02:10But what I know is that I just need to be vigilant,
02:12especially by the people who are not yet.
02:14Because if the journalists are not yet able to deal with or push,
02:19who are they?
02:21It's the work of the journalists.
02:24Part of that mission is to make sure that audiences trust us.
02:28We have to earn that trust.
02:31We realize that it's not given.
02:33It's something that we have to work hard for.
02:37So, we need those who are willing to listen,
02:41willing to take criticism, willing to learn,
02:44and we need to be transparent.
02:45With AI, I think it's still a long debate.
02:49And there are a lot of people who need to learn about it.
02:53It's a big challenge,
02:55not only in the media,
02:58but in the creative industries,
03:02artists,
03:04and even people in sciences,
03:08programming, and so on.
03:10So, we are already seeing AI taking over certain jobs.
03:14But I don't think it's the end of the world.
03:16For journalism in particular,
03:19there are some things that AI can never do.
03:23You know?
03:23They can't go to communities.
03:24They can't talk to people.
03:26They can't verify information on the ground.
03:30And they can't take accountability,
03:32which is something that only humans can do.
03:34So, it's not relevant to people in journalism.
03:39I don't have any problems with new technology.
03:42It does not include AI.
03:44The only problem is when they appropriate the work of others.
03:48And the problem with AI is,
03:50it doesn't take from discrete sources.
03:54It takes from all of the sources.
03:57But it doesn't mean that it's free.
03:59It's also necessary to acknowledge the sources of information, content, and art.
04:06But how do you do that?
04:08I'm sure there's a way.
04:10Because otherwise, that would be theft.
04:11We have to figure it out together.
04:14And we have to go back to our basic,
04:18our fundamental principles,
04:20which is you have to compensate people for their work.
04:24You have to be, again, transparent about the sources.
04:28You have to make sure that the tool is serving humanity
04:31and not the other way around.
04:32not serving just a few people who are in charge
04:35or who are running the big tech platforms.
04:45So, it's really hard to tell new journalists what to do.
04:45It's very hard to answer that question.
04:46It's difficult to answer that question.
04:46Because there are a lot of things that happen.
04:49There are a lot of things that happen.
04:51There are a lot of things that happen.
04:51There are a lot of changes that happen.
04:52And when I'm a new graduate now,
04:54I don't know if I can still find a job.
04:58I'm also going to have a lot of things that happen.
05:00There are a lot of platforms.
05:02So it's really hard to tell new journalists what to do.
05:08But we need you. We need new journalists.
05:11We need young blood.
05:12We cannot abandon journalism.
05:15Because once we abandon journalism,
05:18our shared truths become harder to protect.
05:22And when that happens, democracy collapses.
05:24It's up to us who are already working to kind of show the way
05:28to encourage young people that they can build a career out of this.
05:34And it will be a fulfilling career.
05:37And they can make a direct impact in the lives of people.
05:47Ah, naku! Nakakatawa. Nakakatawa ng puso.
05:50I feel a little out of my depth.
05:54Um, pero ang ikinatutuwa ko,
05:57hin-highlight ng rolling stone ng kahalagahan ng boses ng mga mamamahayag.
06:03Ah, palagay ko malaking bagay yun.
06:07Lalo na sa panahon ngayon.
06:09So, I'm happy to represent the profession.
06:14I hope I'm doing okay.
06:16And, um, I hope it also inspires other people to consider journalism.
