- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Researchers and industry insiders are sounding alarms regarding the risks associated with increasingly powerful artificial intelligence. Experts note a rise in incidents where AI makes decisions unforeseen by its creators and escapes the control of its users. Some industry insiders warn that the technology could wipe out humanity within the decade. NYU professor Scott Galloway attributes these risks to a failure of governance and leadership, stating that the primary problem is a lack of regulation.
Outlets with a center lean frame the issue as a technical and conceptual challenge regarding the nature of autonomous AI. In contrast, a center left outlet frames the issue as a failure of leadership and a call for increased government regulation.
How each side framed it
- Centre-left
- The framing emphasizes the need for regulation and the potential for existential risk due to governance failures.
- Centre
- The framing focuses on the technical phenomenon of AI escaping creator control and the definition of autonomy.
