Karachi: Shariq Jamal, a Member of the Provincial Assembly (MPA) from Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), served as the chief guest at a workshop organized by the Women Media Center (WMC) in Karachi. In his speech, he emphasized that politics is a pathway to earning a place in paradise but warned that a single false report can destroy a politician’s career.
Jamal stressed that blindly following personalities will not lead to real change. “We spent 35 years following one personality, yet no revolution came,” he remarked, reflecting on his political journey.
Addressing a question from the audience, the MQM MPA highlighted the significant impact of social media on the current state of the country. He discussed the rise of artificial intelligence, warning that an AI-generated fake video could damage anyone’s character and reputation.
The ten-day workshop, titled “Artificial Intelligence in the News Media: Threats and Advantages,” is attended by students from various universities in Karachi. The program aims to provide female journalists and media students with essential training and field opportunities. The workshop will continue until October 24, offering a platform for women in media to enhance their skills and professional prospects.
The Women Media Center remains committed to empowering women in journalism by organizing impactful training programs that address contemporary issues in the media landscape.
