00:10The Future Has Already Begun
00:13By Miguel Franjul Zenzhen, China
00:16I have just stepped into the future
00:18Here, in this city that seems designed by the most ambitious imagination,
00:24technological advancement is not a promise,
00:26it is a tangible reality that is already shaping our present.
00:31At Huawei's annual exhibition,
00:33the Chinese technology giant showed how it is redefining the world,
00:37from the way companies operate,
00:39to how governments manage their services,
00:41and of course, how journalism is done.
00:44One of the tools that most impacted me was Pangas 5.0,
00:48an artificial intelligence application native to Spanish and Portuguese
00:51that works as a writing assistant.
00:53It researches, summarizes, writes, and helps organize ideas.
00:58It even allows you to create avatars capable of interacting with users,
01:03simulating interviews with historical figures in almost real-life settings.
01:07I also witnessed the operation of integrated mobile offices
01:10for live broadcasts from anywhere in the world
01:13without major technical deployments,
01:16and platforms that automate tasks such as fact-checking,
01:19summary creation, or complex data analysis in seconds.
01:22I particularly highlight Data Art Studio,
01:25a cloud-based tool that cross-references public information,
01:28social media, and statistics to reveal patterns,
01:31cases of corruption, or social movements hidden from the naked eye.
01:35It's already in use in Brazil
01:37and represents a powerful tool for investigative journalism.
01:41Another fascinating advancement
01:42was the use of augmented reality to tell stories in an immersive way.
01:46We witnessed a recreation of the history of Machu Picchu
01:50with three-dimensional avatars and immersive narratives,
01:54and we learned about AI applications that adapt news to formats like TikTok
01:59using avatars that connect with younger audiences.
02:02But beyond the amazement, there is one conclusion worth its weight in gold.
02:08Technology doesn't replace journalists.
02:11It liberates them.
02:12It takes the burden off repetitive tasks
02:14so you can focus on what's essential,
02:17thinking, questioning, investigating, and moving.
02:20Huawei showcased a new universe of possibilities,
02:22not just in chips or cloud systems,
02:25but in tools that can restore depth, diversity, and sustainability to journalism.
02:29Innovations applied to smart cities like Shangri-La Nanshan,
02:34where the fair was held, were also on display,
02:37as well as advances such as the digital citizen identity model in Brazil and Mexico,
02:43which allows transactions to be completed simply by scanning a QR code.
02:47This journey wasn't just geographical, it was a leap into the future.
02:52The challenge ahead is immense, but also inspiring.
02:56To understand, adopt, and master these tools
02:58without losing the essence of our mission,
03:00the future has already begun,
03:03and we, journalists, must tread firmly on it.
