CBS, Fox News and NBC had suspended their coverage of President Trump Monday after he expelled CNN from the White House TV press pool. "People are standing up for press freedom," says Filipino American journalist Maria Ressa, who won the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. "There are costs to standing up, but there are greater costs to giving up." Ressa is also co-chair of the United Nations Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence. "A small group of countries and companies should not be determining the fate of the world," says Ressa about the current state of AI.
