Throughout this region, including within the EU, there are varying levels of established press freedom that will have an impact on how AI laws and policies affect journalism and freedom of expression. The most significant law, the <a href=\"https:\/\/artificialintelligenceact.eu\/ai-act-explorer\/\">European Union\u2019s Artificial Intelligence Act,<\/a> is set to be implemented by 27 member states, nine candidate states and <a href=\"https:\/\/artificialintelligenceact.eu\/national-implementation-plans\/\">potentially three more countries<\/a> through European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and European Economic Area (EEA) agreements (Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland are considering adoption; Switzerland is not). The implementation process of this law has been fragmented, and a number of issues need clarification, such as how the AI Act will interact with other existing EU legislation. This law will affect companies far beyond the region due to the large population and market size it will cover (approximately 593.9 million people<sup data-fn=\"c9267e3a-d6fd-4622-9834-f6c35ddaaf89\" class=\"fn\"><a id=\"c9267e3a-d6fd-4622-9834-f6c35ddaaf89-link\" href=\"#c9267e3a-d6fd-4622-9834-f6c35ddaaf89\">1<\/a><\/sup>) and the number of legal systems involved. The EU AI Act also has many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitecase.com\/insight-our-thinking\/eu-ai-acts-extraterritorial-scope-part-2\">extraterritoriality requirements<\/a>, due to a provider or deployer outside the EU being subject to the AI Act if the AI system is used in the EU, whether or not that was the intention. The EU AI Act focuses on classifying different use cases of AI according to risk levels and establishing obligations based on these classifications. Violations of the law are met with hefty fines, as laid out in <a href=\"https:\/\/artificialintelligenceact.eu\/article\/99\/\">Article 99<\/a>, and can range up to 35 million euros, or 7% of worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As EU candidate states, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.srbija.gov.rs\/tekst\/en\/149169\/strategy-for-the-development-of-artificial-intelligence-in-the-republic-of-serbia.php\">Serbia <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/ai.org.ua\/a-road-map-of-ai-regulation-in-ukraine\/\">Ukraine <\/a>will be required to pass their own legislation that aligns with the EU AI Act. As a consequence, these countries\u2019 strategies are largely related to the EU AI Act; however, they have some important differences, including a greater focus on innovation and public education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is worth noting that in November 2025, the EU Commission proposed the <a href=\"https:\/\/digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu\/en\/library\/digital-omnibus-regulation-proposal\">Digital Omnibus Package<\/a>. These documents <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/en\/ip_25_2718\">propose multiple changes<\/a> to the EU digital acquis, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu\/en\/library\/digital-omnibus-ai-regulation-proposal\">simplification of the EU AI Act<\/a> and the General Data Protection Regulation. However, because the publication of this package fell outside of our timeframe, it was not examined in this report.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The countries in the region that are not required to implement EU law take a variety of approaches, and many have yet to develop strategies or introduce legislation. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/ai-opportunities-action-plan\">United Kingdom\u2019s AI Opportunities Action Plan<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/dig.watch\/resource\/strategy-for-the-development-of-artificial-intelligence-in-the-republic-of-tajikistan-for-the-period-up-to-2040\">Tajikistan<\/a>\u2019s AI legislation represent a stark divergence from the EU\u2019s AI Act by focusing solely on supporting innovation.

Outside of the newsroom itself, transparency requirements for those developing and deploying AI make it easier for journalists to investigate the technology and the companies behind it. Furthermore, the EU\u2019s transparency rules on generative AI allow journalists to protect their intellectual property by requesting that their copyrighted material be removed from training data. Within a newsroom,&nbsp; when journalists are deploying AI, whether it be for internal use or outward facing,&nbsp; transparency requirements can help encourage ethical practices. In addition, transparency requirements, such as labeling requirements, will impact public trust.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EU policies that do not require AI-generated text to be labeled when it has been reviewed by a human may inadvertently increase confusion because both malicious actors using AI to spread disinformation and legitimate journalists who use AI but edit the output could avoid disclosing AI use. This differs from stricter rules in Uzbekistan, where all AI-generated or manipulated content must be labelled. Under both systems, however, the <a href=\"https:\/\/cnti.org\/article\/aij-wg-briefing1\/\">level of trust<\/a> between journalists and the public will likely be affected. Furthermore, the EU\u2019s law does not explicitly ban biometric surveillance in emergencies, which could put journalists and their sources at risk. Outside of the EU, journalists face concerns over copyright since many laws and strategies provide little to no protection for their work being used to train AI models without consent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gridible-responsive-spacer\" style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-aktiv-grotesk-condensed-font-family has-delta-font-size\" id=\"h-freedom-of-speech-and-expression\"><strong>Freedom of speech and expression<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AI summary<\/strong>: The EU\u2019s Digital Services Act and AI Act work together to protect freedom of expression by banning manipulative AI and requiring transparency from social media platforms, while other countries in the region mention these rights but do not have specific action plans.

The AI Act itself is not specifically designed to protect the freedom of expression, other than its bans on manipulative or exploitative AI systems that distort human behavior and impair decision-making.

However, this concept has been critiqued for its vagueness and likelihood to include all digital platforms\u2019 algorithmic recommender systems.

Image, audio and video content must always be labeled, with exceptions only for law enforcement purposes. In cases where an AI system generates or manipulates text intended to inform the public on matters of public interest, deployers must disclose that the content was artificially generated unless it has been subject to human review or editorial oversight. In <a href=\"https:\/\/zenodo.org\/records\/15378888\">Uzbekistan\u2019s<\/a> draft law, manipulated content must be <strong>labeled, with no exceptions, <\/strong>through watermarks or other machine-readable formats.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gridible-responsive-spacer\" style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-aktiv-grotesk-condensed-font-family has-echo-font-size\" id=\"h-impacts-on-journalism-0\"><strong><strong>Impacts<\/strong> on journalism<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Policies on deepfakes and other synthetic content carry significant implications for journalism. In both the EU and Uzbekistan, further clarification on the definition of AI-generated material would benefit journalists using this technology. For example, it remains unclear whether an image or video edited with AI should be classified as AI-generated content and therefore subject to labeling requirements. Generally, in the EU, AI-generated content such as images, videos, audio files and text must be labeled as such; however, if a newsroom reviews textual content and assumes editorial responsibility, labeling is not required, unless the content could mislead the public. As a result, in many cases, text generated through AI used by newsrooms will not need to be explicitly marked as AI-generated, whereas textual material not subject to review must carry a clear, machine-readable and visible label. (Malign actors posing as legitimate news sources to spread disinformation could also take advantage of the EU\u2019s rules by claiming human review of AI-generated content, even when no such review took place.) However, AI-manipulated images, video and audio must always be watermarked and labelled as artificially generated or manipulated in a machine-readable format. These kinds of labels, however, might create confusion and short-term mistrust among audiences, <a href=\"https:\/\/cnti.org\/article\/aij-wg-briefing1\/\">according to some studies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In contrast, Uzbekistan mandates labeling for all AI-generated content, regardless of editorial oversight, which demonstrates the importance of public understanding of manipulated content but could actually <a href=\"https:\/\/cnti.org\/article\/aij-wg-briefing1\/\">undermine trust<\/a> if labeling is poorly explained or understood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gridible-responsive-spacer\" style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-aktiv-grotesk-condensed-font-family has-delta-font-size\" id=\"h-algorithmic-discrimination-and-bias-nbsp\"><strong>Algorithmic discrimination and bias&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AI summary<\/strong>: Different laws across the region, especially the EU AI Act and <a href=\"https:\/\/gdpr-info.eu\/\">General Data Protection Regulation<\/a> (GDPR), are working to reduce algorithmic discrimination, while some countries like Kyrgyzstan and Switzerland mention the concern but do not offer specific actions.

This could include using AI to analyze datasets for reporting or using audience data with personally identifying or other sensitive information. Journalists using or building AI tools will need to understand these obligations and make sure they and their newsrooms comply.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside of the EU, the fragmented landscape will require journalists to balance the ethical use of AI with compliance across jurisdictions, and it will require them to remain aware of how bias-related safeguards may limit or shape their use of different tools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gridible-responsive-spacer\" style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-aktiv-grotesk-condensed-font-family has-delta-font-size\" id=\"h-intellectual-property-and-copyright\"><strong>Intellectual property and copyright<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AI summary<\/strong>: In the EU, the AI Act and the <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/eli\/dir\/2019\/790\/oj\/eng\">Directive on Copyright<\/a> work together to give copyright holders the ability to withhold their content from AI training, while other countries, like the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Kyrgyzstan, have less specific plans and are starting to update their existing laws.

However, these three AI strategies or laws do not go into specifics.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gridible-responsive-spacer\" style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-aktiv-grotesk-condensed-font-family has-echo-font-size\" id=\"h-impacts-on-journalism-2\"><strong><strong>Impacts<\/strong> on journalism<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The impacts of copyright provisions exist within a complicated <a href=\"https:\/\/cnti.org\/article\/modernizing-copyright\/\">and fragmented<\/a> legal landscape on the issue. Not only are laws significantly different country to country, but many do not account for the digital environment nor have begun to grapple with the impacts of AI.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the EU, the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market and the AI Act will address this issue. For journalists in the EU, the AI Act\u2019s existing opt-out mechanism for copyrighted material has raised concerns. While the Act includes a provision allowing rights holders to opt out of having their content used for AI training, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bruegel.org\/analysis\/european-union-still-caught-ai-copyright-bind\">critics argue<\/a> that vague implementation guidelines risk making the safeguard ineffective. On the other hand, organizations such as <a href=\"https:\/\/rsf.org\/en\/ai-act-s-code-practice-europe-s-last-opportunity-protect-journalism-tech-industrys-interests\">Reporters without Borders<\/a> view the situation as a chance to push for greater transparency requirements to make it easier for authors and other rights holders to protect their intellectual property. More detailed requirements for the disclosure of generative AI systems training data were released in July 2025, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/newsroom\/dae\/redirection\/document\/118120\">Model Documentation Form and Public Summary Template<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside of the EU, copyright legislation and protections become much more complicated in the region. The strategies and legislation from outside of the EU have less of a focus on copyright, potentially posing a problem for journalists as their intellectual property could be used to train these AI systems without permission, compensation or recognition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gridible-responsive-spacer\" style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-aktiv-grotesk-condensed-font-family has-delta-font-size\" id=\"h-transparency-and-accountability\"><strong>Transparency and accountability<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AI summary<\/strong>: The EU AI Act has strict rules for transparency and accountability for high-risk and generative AI systems, which include requiring detailed documentation about the system and informing users when they are interacting with an AI. While some other countries in Europe and Central Asia mention the need for transparency in their proposals, they have not yet provided detailed or actionable plans. These transparency rules can help journalists investigate AI technology, allow news organizations to protect their work from being used as training data and build public trust in the use of AI in the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gridible-responsive-spacer\" style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-aktiv-grotesk-condensed-font-family has-echo-font-size\" id=\"h-approaches-3\"><strong>Approaches<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside of the EU AI Act, there is limited mention of transparency and accountability for AI systems in Europe and Central Asia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Requiring clear user instructions in accessible language. <\/strong>Transparency for users<strong> <\/strong>of high-risk AI systems is required under the EU AI Act\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/artificialintelligenceact.eu\/article\/13\/\">Article 13<\/a>.

Broadly, increasing transparency can make it easier for reporters to investigate AI technology and the companies that provide it. Additionally, the EU\u2019s transparency requirements for high-risk and generative AI systems will allow journalists to protect their copyrighted material by allowing them to request that material be removed from AI training data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to newsrooms using AI, they must ensure that the systems they implement are ethically transparent and compliant with national laws. In the EU, this could involve several strict transparency requirements if the system is determined to be high risk. Additionally, if a news outlet uses AI-generated audio, photos or video, it must be disclosed as such. News outlets must also label AI-generated text unless it is subject to human review and someone takes editorial responsibility. The requirement to label AI-generated content, with exceptions for text, will likely influence the <a href=\"https:\/\/trustingnews.org\/new-research-how-ai-disclosures-in-news-help-and-also-hurt-trust-with-audiences\/\">public\u2019s level of trust<\/a> in the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gridible-responsive-spacer\" style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-aktiv-grotesk-condensed-font-family has-delta-font-size\" id=\"h-data-protection-and-privacy\"><strong>Data protection and privacy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AI summary<\/strong>: The EU AI Act and the EU\u2019s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) work together to address data protection and privacy concerns for AI systems, especially for personal data, while countries outside the EU, such as Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Uzbekistan, have focused on specific aspects of data protection like anonymization or alignment with global trends.

In other countries, expanding education on AI within the public sector could further benefit the media because future journalists would gain a deeper understanding of these technologies, and media consumers would be more informed, potentially strengthening public trust in journalism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gridible-responsive-spacer\" style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-aktiv-grotesk-condensed-font-family has-delta-font-size\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As AI legislation continues to evolve across Europe and Central Asia, the successful implementation of the EU AI Act will be a crucial factor in determining the future of journalism in the AI era. This landmark law is positioned to shape the region\u2019s approach to artificial intelligence as well as global standards, as many countries move to align their frameworks with its provisions \u2014 including countries outside the EU. As the implementation process begins, other countries in the region are expected to develop or revise their own AI strategies and legal frameworks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One significant area of concern is how the AI Act will be enforced in countries, both within and outside the EU, that do not adhere to democratic norms. The effectiveness and integrity of its implementation in these contexts <a href=\"https:\/\/euobserver.com\/eu-and-the-world\/arf48ebc3d?gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=21301092454&amp;gbraid=0AAAAAoa6QobhpA3vKmLDzNuDI1ksJ4UU_&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw_rPGBhCbARIsABjq9cdTRqOLlalN7pbYVUjkukLr31KL7v-mQBwuFuRCyJ_VRlk-4KrfmCQaAp_mEALw_wcB\">will be crucial<\/a> to avoid negative impacts on fundamental rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Current laws and strategies in the region do not explicitly address journalism or journalists. All the same, their indirect effects will be significant on the field.
