The media of the BRICS countries agreed to use their information resources to contribute to the construction of a fair multipolar world order, according to the final declaration of the BRICS Media Summit, which was unanimously adopted on Sunday.
"Participants from BRICS countries will facilitate the construction of a fair and equal multipolar world order based on the norms of international right and principles of equality, respect of sovereignty, non-interference in the internal affairs and indivisible security using their information resources," stated the declaration.
Additionally, the document emphasizes the role of the media in maintaining and strengthening international dialogue. The BRICS countries' media that joined the declaration reaffirmed their commitment to the principles of fact-based, objective journalism and expressed their readiness to coordinate efforts to combat disinformation.
The declaration also underscores the need to protect journalists' rights and ensure their safety, particularly during the coverage of military conflicts. It also stresses the importance for media to stay current and adopt advanced technologies, while acknowledging that the use of artificial intelligence in media necessitates the creation of suitable standards and ethical guidelines. Moreover, media from BRICS countries will support professional dialogue on the topic of artificial intelligence.
