Reuters’ editor-in-chief Alessandra Galloni delivered the annual Andrew Olle Lecture at the ABC’s Sydney headquarters last night. Galloni used her speech to warn of the impact of artificial intelligence technology on the media industry. She said the industry is facing a new and potentially existential challenge from AI companies that are using copyrighted news content to train their models, with a resulting loss of revenue for media organisations. Galloni added that Reuters’ business model demonstrates that the licensing of news content to third parties can work; however, she said that some licensing conditions must be non-negotiable, including fair payment and attribution of the original source.
