Public interest media is being marginalized, generative AI is flooding the market with content, and communalities are evaporating. That was a scenario outlined by AI based on a prompt that was presented by Beadie Finzi, one of the co-directors of documentary non-profit Doc Society, on Monday as part the industry section of the 23rd edition of the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, or CPH:DOX.
Bruno Patino, head of ARTE France, which works on the European public service channel ARTE with ARTE Deutschland, a subsidiary of German public TV networks ARD and ZDF, addressed this scenario and outlined his vision for public media in Europe in a keynote address. “These are not predictions.
