Voice 9, International Desk: Esteemed journalist
and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, Maria Ressa, issues a grave cautionary
message regarding the preservation of truth in the digital era. She
expounds on the imperative of safeguarding truth and the peril of artificial
intelligence falling into the possession of malevolent entities. She asserts that there exists a perilous possibility of
succumbing to adversarial artificial intelligence and authoritarian
governments, both capable of exploiting technology as a weapon.
Ressa emphasizes the imminent danger of losing
the ongoing battle for information to adversarial artificial intelligence and
authoritarian governments, who possess the ability to manipulate and exploit
said technology. Her firsthand experiences substantiate this claim.
In 2021, she was honored with the Nobel Prize
for her unwavering dedication to safeguarding freedom of expression in the
Philippines, which faced severe threats under the regime of former President
Rodrigo Duterte.
