Am 1.3. jährt sich Kurt Imhofs Todestag bereits zum 10. Mal. Sein Verstand, seine unerschrockene Art und sein einzigartiger Humor fehlen. Unvergessen ist seine Rede zur Verletzlichkeit der Demokratie, heute aktueller denn je (hier nachzuschauen: foeg.uzh.ch/de/news/2025...).

Mein #phoenix-Interview zu Chancen und Risiken der KI für die Demokratie. Für Desinformation ist KI Fluch und Segen zugleich: Die generative KI wird zu einer massiven Zunahme der Desinfo führen. Bekämpfung setzt aber ebenso KI voraus

"The decline of local newspapers accelerated so rapidly in 2023 that analysts now believe the U.S. will have lost one-third of the newspapers it had as of 2005 by the end of next year — rather than in 2025, as originally predicted."

One-third of U.S. newspapers as of 2005 will be gone by 2024

Rural and poorer areas are most in danger of turning into "news deserts."
