To promote the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) in journalism and ensure media integrity, Honor Bangladesh has organised a special workshop for member journalists of the Bangladesh ICT Journalists Forum (BIJF).
Titled “Practical AI and Media Integrity with Honor AI,” the workshop was held in Dhaka, with participation from leading figures in journalism and the industry.

In his welcome address, BIJF President Hitler A. Halim said that in today’s world, understanding AI is no longer a luxury for journalists but a necessity to safeguard credibility and professionalism in reporting.
“This workshop has been organised to build a bridge between technology, ethics, and practical journalism,” he said.

Speaking at the event, Honor Bangladesh Deputy Country Manager Mujahidul Islam said that AI is transforming the way news is produced and consumed.
“We believe that public trust in the media must remain at the centre of this transformation. From that belief, we are working to develop responsible and human-centric AI technologies,” he added.

Later, Honor Bangladesh Head of Business Abdullah Al Mamun presented various features of Honor AI relevant to journalism. He said these technologies can help journalists work faster, enhance creativity, and ensure content credibility, while also providing insights into future AI capabilities.
