Media event highlights role of new technology

Chinese journalism faces both unprecedented opportunities and challenges amid the swift development of artificial intelligence, officials and experts said during a conference on Wednesday.

Wang Gang, deputy head of the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said journalism, especially traditional Chinese language print media outlets, must embrace emerging technologies such as 5G, cloud computing, big data and generative AI to adapt to technological changes.

He made the remarks during the 57th Annual Conference of the Chinese Language Press Institute in Beijing, which features artificial intelligence and the Chinese language press development.
