On the occasion of the 2025 International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, this year dedicated to Artificial Intelligence, UNESCO is launching French and Spanish editions of its Brief on Indigenous Peoples and the Media, alongside a compelling new video featuring Indigenous media professionals from around the world.

As AI continues to reshape the media landscape, it brings both opportunities and urgent challenges. According to UNESCO's global survey, 77% of Indigenous media organizations cite lack of financial resources as a major obstacle to digital transformation, while others face barriers related to equipment costs and technical expertise.

AI holds powerful potential for language preservation, content accessibility, and editorial innovation. That is why empowering Indigenous voices in the media, and supporting equitable access to digital tools, is critical to ensuring pluralism, diversity, and freedom of expression in an inclusive digital age.
