"We are faced with the challenge of reinventing our craft," writes Michelle Nogales Cardozo and Mijail Miranda Zapata in a guest article about AI for #DWFreedom.   The co-founders of Muy Waso, a DW Akademie partner in Bolivia, describe why they are optimistic in the face of #artificialintelligence:   "We believe that we can meet the challenges with a concept that we will call misk’i journalism. Misk’i refers to the Quechua and Aymara word describing the distinctive flavors of food and drinks. What we need is a journalism with a new, distinctive and personal taste, in times of AI fast food production by Big Tech and big media companies."   Read all about their concept here: https://lnkd.in/eArdCk7M
