With the contributions of the Kayseri Governorship, a "New Generation Journalism Workshop" was organized under the leadership of Okan Geçgel, the President of the Turkish Internet Journalists Association (TİGAD). The workshop was attended by Dr. Ekrem Teymur, Chairman of the Board of Haberler.com, Av. Bedia Teymur, Editor-in-Chief of Haberler.com, and many important figures from the media and information world. The speakers addressed significant topics regarding the future of journalism and digital media. In this event, which was held in two sessions, leading representatives of the media and information world shared their professional experiences with young journalists.
"CAN HAVE CRUCIAL RESULTS" At the workshop held at Erciyes University, Dr. Ekrem Teymur, Chairman of the Board of Haberler.com, made important statements about the nature of artificial intelligence in his speech titled "How Does Artificial Intelligence Work?". Teymur, recalling that ethical issues and manipulation in the media were discussed in previous sessions, stated, "The issue of presenting news with alterations is not just a professional concern; it is a very serious flaw, a deficiency that is crucially important in terms of misguiding the people involved in the production of this profession."
"IT CARRIES BOTH ADVANTAGES AND RISKS" Teymur explained the basic working principles of artificial intelligence, stating that this technology produces results based on the data it collects. He noted that artificial intelligence applications, which provide answers with more general and moderate approaches instead of radical solutions to the questions posed to them, carry both advantages and risks. Ekrem Teymur stated, "By its very nature, artificial intelligence is formed from all the data it collects as a result. Artificial intelligences evaluate all the information and provide an answer based on the average of the general. Therefore, we can say that artificial intelligence tends to lean towards the middle rather than the extremes. When you ask artificial intelligence something, it gives you answers based on general data, not radical extremes." He pointed out that a wrong editing process could lead to serious errors in the content of the news, such as the interchange of important terms like "killer" and "victim."
THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS IN MEDIA The workshop highlighted how digitalization shapes the journalism profession and opened discussions on the increasing impact of technological developments in the media sector. Participants expressed that the experiences and knowledge they gained would be decisive in their progress towards the media environment of the future. Thus, it was emphasized that the innovations brought by artificial intelligence and digital media not only create opportunities in the field of journalism but also harbor significant risks if not used meticulously.
