Infrastructures of Media Freedom: Expanding Journalism’s Ethical Horizon
Abstract
This commentary argues that some technology choices are editorial and ultimately contribute to the quality of our public information ecosystem. Building on freedom of expression theory, I propose expanding the horizon of journalism’s professional ethics to also include the responsible selection of recommender systems, virtual agents, clouds, social networks, and generative AI tools—the very infrastructures of media freedom.

Wege zur KI-Grundvergütung für Kreative – Die Verzahnung individueller und kollektiver Vergütungsmodelle download
Abstract
Zur Sicherstellung einer angemessenen Vergütung für die Nutzung urheberrechtlich geschützter Werke zur Entwicklung von generativen KI-Modellen werden sowohl individuelle Lizenzmodelle als auch kollektive Vergütungslösungen vorgeschlagen. Der folgende Beitrag bespricht den Stand der Diskussion und kontrastiert den aktuellen Trend zu individuellen
Lizenzvereinbarungen mit potenziellen Vorzügen kollektiver Ansätze. Eine Beurteilung der verschiedenen Regelungsoptionen im Licht gesellschaftlicher Belange und gesetzgeberischer Zielsetzungen schließt die Diskussion ab.

Europa moet uit het AI-slop: Maar we moeten het niet hebben van de Digitale Omnibusverordening download
Abstract
Terwijl de wereld in razend tempo de AI-revolutie omarmt, worstelt de Europese Unie met de vraag hoe zij haar plek moet opeisen tussen technologische grootmachten als de VS en China. De analyse van Draghi legt pijnlijk bloot hoe ver Europa achterop is geraakt — en hoe regelgeving, ooit een bron van trots, nu vooral als rem wordt gezien. De nieuwe Digitale Omnibusverordening moet daar verandering in brengen, maar laat vooral zien hoe moeilijk het voor Brussel is om een toekomstgerichte visie op AI en data te ontwikkelen.

The Many Shades of Clouds: How Law Fails (Us) in Seeing Power in the Digital Economy
Abstract
Cloud infrastructures form the backbone of our contemporary (digital) production environment. Despite their centrality, legal and scholarly practice have not been treating cloud infrastructures as single objects of/for study. In other words, we have laws for regulating services and products that flow from (within) cloud infrastructures, but we have yet to grapple with their operators' ability to: (1) render things administratively calculable and legible; and (2) to dictate the global tempo of innovation by orchestrating technological trajectories. This is a problem and a consequence of a fragmented legal epistemology that has been constantly searching for gaps to fill in what has been perceived as a linear continuum of legal and technological development. Alas, this paper argues that we (legal scholars and practitioners) have been looking too closely to these developments to be able to see them. In this direction, the paper explains what we have missed in the (non-)regulation of cloud infrastructures, why, and what we can do to start seeing, learning, and talking about them in a way that better reflects their nature and power in modern economies and societies. And, at a time when various jurisdictions around the world are fragmenting the world of cloud infrastructures into lands of “sovereignty” ordered and monitored by multinational corporations, we find this legal and policy endeavor to be as necessary as ever.

Background Study to Inform the Development of a Guidance Note on Media Regulators in a Platform-Based Environment external link
Abstract
This Background Study examines the role of media regulators in the new digital environment and considers in addition to traditional media regulators also regulatory authorities of other actors involved insofar as this affects media actors, such as online platforms. The Study highlights that any regulatory framework on media regulators in a platform-based environment must be consistent with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), particularly the right to freedom of expression and media freedom under Article 10 ECHR. It covers
aspects of media regulators’ role and competences in a platform-based environment; the conditions necessary to ensure media regulators’ independence; and the need for strengthening national cross-sectoral coordination, cross-border cooperation and international assistance. It
moreover explores how the country-of-origin principle and freedom of retransmission interact with mechanisms for effective cross-border cooperation.

AI Hype in Journalism: Visibility, Power, and the Politics of Media Narratives
Abstract
Hype is a phenomenon that emerges from a set of practices rooted in the norms and narratives not only of journalism but of digital media and its algorithmic infrastructure more broadly, in the sociopolitical and cultural capital of technical expertise, and in the ambiguous and uncertain promises of a brighter future made by the world’s techno-elite. In this special issue, we explore media hype around AI functions as a pervasive system that is “sunk into and inside of other structures, social arrangements, and technologies” (Star, Citation1999, 381). We pay particular attention to how AI hype is embedded within journalism’s norms and narratives, labor politics, and the rhetoric of the tech industry. As the different articles in this special issue show, understanding AI hype as a systemic phenomenon conveys its power to shape narratives, practices, and regulations across layered systems of actors and networks, as well as its malleability by different stakeholders.
