Deneyimlediğimiz tarihsel sürecin şeklini tayin eden dijital teknoloji, gündelik hayat formlarına ilişik görüntüsüyle hiç olmadığı kadar muğlak bir dünya yaratımına ortaklık etmektedir. Dünyanın hızla hapsolduğu bu müphem tablo habercilik pratiklerinde belirginleşmekte; sektör yeni birtakım gazetecilik biçimleriyle tanışırken haber okuyucusunun omzundaki hakikat okuryazarı olma sorumluluğu biraz daha artmaktadır. Nitekim bugün artık kaynağa erişimden metnin üretimine haber yapım sürecinde yapay zekâ faktörü görünürlük kazanmıştır. Bu çalışma haber-iktidar-teknoloji ilişkisi ile küresel iktidar yapılarının belleği çarpıtma dinamiklerini birlikte düşünme gerekliliğinden ortaya çıkmıştır. Yapay zekâ ürünü haberlerin belleğin çarpıtılması bağlamındaki olası risklerini işaret etme amacındaki çalışmada, söz konusu bağlantılılığı net biçimde gösterme potansiyeline sahip olduğu düşünülen ‘dini dalga’ terör saldırıları dikkate alınmıştır. Örneklemini ChatGPT yapay zekâ algoritmasının 9/11, 7/7, 2015 Paris ve Christchurch saldırıları konusunda ürettiği haber metinlerinin oluşturduğu araştırmada eleştirel söylem analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Bulgular din tabanlı terör saldırılarının yapay zekâ tarafından haberleştirilme pratiğinde küresel iktidar söyleminin tekrar edildiği, toplumsal belleği hedefleyen modern teknolojinin iktidar ideolojisini yeniden üreten bir araç konumuna yerleştiği sonucuna ulaştırmıştır. Bu sonuçtan hareketle hem üretim hem tüketim konumunda bulunan haberin muhataplarına, yapay zekâ algoritmalarından çıkan haber metinlerine karşı dikkat yoğun bir okuma pratiği geliştirme önerisinde bulunulabilir.

Artificial Intelligence on Journalism: Algorithmic Power Targeting the Crack in Memory in the Example of ‘Religious Wave’ Terrorist Attacks

Öz

The digital technology that governs this historical process is a partner in the creation of an ambiguous world with its image attached to everyday life forms. This picture the world is trapped in is becoming clearer in journalism practices. As the sector becomes acquainted with new forms of journalism, the responsibility of the news reader to be a truth reader increases. AI is visible in news production, from access to the source to the production. This study emerged from the necessity of considering the news-power-technology relationship and the memory distortion dynamics of global power structures together. In this study, which aims to point out the risks of AI news in the context of memory distortion, the ‘religious wave’ terrorist attacks are taken into consideration. Critical discourse analysis was used in this research conducted on a sample of the ChatGPT’s news regarding 9/11, 7/7, 2015 Paris and Christchurch attacks. The findings show that the discourse of global power is repeated in artificial intelligence news on religion-based terrorist attacks and that technology targeting social memory reproduces the ideology of power. Accordingly, an intensive reading practice can be recommended to the interlocutors of the news against the news emerging from AI algorithms.
