Abstract

In the new era of today, Generative AI (GenAI) and media literacy, are inseparably linked. GenAI has both the potential to transform the world of media, but also the opportunity to challenge the status quo and help users with malicious intents create misinformation and disinformation easier than ever. This chapter addresses this intersection. It begins with an overview of GenAI's origins and its growing influence on media production, journalism, and creative industries. The discussion then shifts to the new challenges posed by AI-generated misinformation, deepfakes, bias, and intellectual property concerns, all of which contribute to the erosion of trust in media. The chapter also examines opportunities for enhancing media literacy in the age of AI, including educational initiatives, policy interventions, and collaborations between tech companies and educators, all to show that the issue of GenAI and media literacy is of importance and requires careful consideration.
