Members of the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU), the world’s largest broadcasting union with 230 members in 65 countries, gathered in Istanbul from October 18th to 23rd for the 61st ABU AGM and associated meetings to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the future of the media.
Organised by TRT and themed “The Nexus of AI, Broadcasting and Society”, the event welcomed nearly 400 participants from 45 countries, including broadcasters, IT specialists, policymakers and key regional leaders to explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on the media industry.
The event also featured the Broadcasting For All Forum, which focused on career development by showcasing two major ABU initiatives. The first is the launch of the ABU Diversity and Inclusion Media Awards, which are given for outstanding efforts in creating inclusive workplaces and promoting diversity in media. The second initiative is the Media Mentorship Programme, which supports women in journalism and digital content creation.
