hello and happy Friday everyone the
weekend is here I'm Quay wire and this
is CNN 10 where we're finishing out this
week strong with the best 10 minutes in
news because of you I am pumped to get
into today's stories with you so let's
get right to it we're going to start
with this incredible story in Venezuela
where years of political conflict and
controversial elections in July have led
journalists to find innovative ways to
safely do their jobs the two anchors you
see here are AI avatars of the news
program Venezuela retweets now the show
is the brainchild of a group of media
organizations who want to protect their
real life journalists from a Crackdown
on Free Speech Venezuela has been
experiencing political and economic
Strife since president Nicholas Maduro
took over from his predecessor in 2013
since then he's used Democratic
processes like referendums to extend his
executive power over government while
imprisoning political enemies and
attacking the Judiciary Branch maduro's
time in office has seen political
corruption urban violence astronomical
prices and shortages of goods that
Venezuelans took to the streets to
protest over the years and deadly
protests erupted across the country
following its disputed July 28th
presidential election that named Maduro
the winner with little proof the
authoritarian regime has not stopped
cracking down on citizens and
journalists since then organizations say
at least 16 journalists have been
detained covering the Nationwide
protests all but four of them are still
behind bars for charges like terrorism
it's that threat that's LED these
journalists to get creative because of
government censorship most folks get
their news on social media well
Venezuela retweets is streamed online
that makes it harder to trace the video
and easier for AI avatars to front a
newscast now artificial intelligence
doesn't come without its own risks in
the wrong hands it can be used to spread
disinformation and erode trust in
institutions and some of you on social
media even asked if I am Ai and I can g
g g g guarantee you that there are no
glitches in this system actually there
are a lot of glitches and that's how you
know I am not AI all right our of pan
has
more hey Chama can you speak in English
of course and my partner Elana does too
hello CNN thanks for the invitation can
you recognize AI alatar from real
journalists these two avatars were
launched by a collective of journalists
in Venezuela to protect the identities
of reporters after the government
intensified cracking down on Independent
Media following July's election
ction Venezuelan authorities proclaimed
the strongman Nicolas Maduro the winner
without showing any proof and when
people took to the streets to protest
hundreds were detained including 10
journalists 24 people died as avatars we
are in a way an expression of the face
of Journalism that cannot show its face
today because of the high risk of being
detained and prosecuted under hate
incitement laws while the images are AI
real journalists scrip and record the
voices of the Avatar their identities
protected for safety reasons imagine
that even photos taken of the
demonstrations have to be distorted
because the government can use them to
track down citizens who are protesting
the election results over, 15500 people
have been detained but how can I be sure
that the information you share is real
we always clarify that although we are
avatars we are the re result of the
intelligence of over a 100 Venezuelan
journalists AI is sometimes touted as a
threat to Reliable information and a
risk to democracy but in this case it
has become part of a journalist safety
