He is also expected to outline a regulatory roadmap aimed at fostering responsible and accountable AI integration in media.

A central theme of the discussion will be AI’s role in countering misinformation, as stakeholders strengthen AI-driven tools to detect fake news and reinforce credibility. The address will also delve into cybersecurity challenges in digital journalism, underscoring the need for secure, transparent, and ethical AI deployment in an increasingly AI-powered news landscape.

The event will also highlight the growing need for AI literacy and digital upskilling, ensuring that media professionals are equipped to harness AI for content creation, audience engagement, and data security.
