La SIP cierra su 80 Asamblea con Declaración de Salta II, enfocada en IA y libertad de prensa

The Inter-American Press Society’s new declaration highlights critical challenges to press freedom in the Americas, with a specific focus on the ethical use of artificial intelligence. It warns that algorithmic opacity fuels polarization and disinformation, urging technology intermediaries to respect intellectual property rights. This emphasis is vital for open data ecosystems, as transparent algorithms and fair data usage are prerequisites for trustworthy information flows. A central conclusion demands that tech giants compensate media outlets for content used in AI training, addressing market disruptions and protecting journalistic viability. By insisting that companies adhere to regulatory frameworks, the declaration underscores that opacity and data exploitation undermine the right to information. This stance supports open data principles by advocating for accountability in how data is harvested and utilized by powerful platforms. Finally, the document calls on governments to protect journalists from digital violence and cyber-surveillance, ensuring a safe environment for reporting. The absence of the Argentine president raises concerns about state attitudes toward free expression. This relevance to open data lies in the intersection of digital rights, transparency, and protection, which are essential for maintaining an informed society where data serves the public interest rather than opaque corporate or political agendas.
