As the flagship plenary discussion of the IPI World Congress, this Town Hall features some of the big thinkers about what happens next.

The launch of ChatGPT tells us what we already knew: AI is hurrying in the next big disruption. What will it mean for our societies, for how we do journalism, and for our ability to access independent, credible, public interest information?

The Town Hall is jointly coordinated by IPI and the Office of the Representative on Freedom of the Media (RFoM) of the OSCE.
