AI is a double-edged sword. It can be a powerful tool that makes our jobs easier but it can also spread misinformation, manipulate public opinion, and erode trust in journalism. "Former CNN?anchor?Zain Verjee?and intelligence expert?Candyce Kelshall,?have shared a blueprint to help global newsrooms fight misinformation. This handbook—Election Interference and Information Integrity: A Newsroom Blueprint—provides media professionals with practical guidelines and AI-driven tools to strengthen the integrity of their reporting, particularly covering elections." TechCabal spoke to our Co-Founder, Zain Verjee, about the motivation behind the handbook, the threat of misinformation and disinformation exacerbated by AI, and the ethical considerations for?AI use?in African newsrooms.

ACT to End Violence Against Women is a new game-changing commitment between the European Commission and UN Women that aims to accelerate efforts to eliminate all forms of violence against women through Advocacy, Coalition Building, and Transformative Feminist Action. Through direct investments in feminist movements, strengthening intersectional alliances, and coordinating a shared advocacy agenda, ACT will amplify women’s rights movements as they coordinate their push for justice. Global emergencies, crises, and conflict have intensified the drivers and risk factors of violence against women and girls. Digitalization and technology have exacerbated existing forms of violence and led to the development of new forms. However, there is more evidence than ever before showing that violence against women and girls is preventable. The presence of a strong and autonomous feminist movement is the single most critical factor to drive policy change in ending violence against women.

ACT will encapsulate this momentum and focus?on building transformative coalitions of feminist movements that will drive real change.

That’s why we are teaming up with the European Commission to roll out the ACT programme. It aims to accelerate efforts to eliminate all forms of violence against women through Advocacy, Coalition Building, and Transformative Feminist Action (ACT). Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dGGvPvzm
