November 8 — Mohammad Mehdi Rahmati, CEO of Iran's Mehr Media Group, said in a recent interview in Tehran that artificial intelligence is now widely used, is altering certain values, and could also be misused, potentially leading to serious consequences. He believes that in this new era, it is necessary to revisit humanity's shared values and reflect on the future of a community with a shared future for mankind. Discussing the application of artificial intelligence in news organizations, Rahmati noted that Mehr Media Group has employed various AI tools for tracing the historical context of news topics, fact-checking, image enhancement, and text editing. He added that the group plans to carry out joint projects to integrate these tools into a unified open-source software platform for common use by Global South countries.
