Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8 a (new)
Paragraph 8 a (new)
8 a. Considers that there is a need for pre-defining, diversity-securing and specific media law requirements for the use and integration of artificial intelligence (AI), especially when it comes to the generation or distribution of audiovisual content; in this context, AI- supported models must be designed or, where necessary, their use restricted in such a way that they serve an open-ended model of discourse and equal opportunities in the media, and also promote critical-creative impulses and are open to being confronted with the counter-argument to one's own position;
