KI-Überwachung der Behörden: Auch bei „Ben Ungeskriptet“? | Ben Berndt bei NIUS Live

The North Rhine-Westphalia State Media Authority is taking action against YouTuber Ben Berndt. The trigger is his four-hour interview with Björn Höcke, the AfD state chairman in Thuringia, which has been viewed by more than six million people. The authority is now demanding that Ben, known as "Ungeskriptet" (Ben Unscripted), add disclaimers to the video and ensure that his future videos adhere to journalistic standards. The accusation: He failed to contextualize a controversial statement made by Höcke. On NIUS Live, Julian Reichelt speaks with Ben Berndt about the letter from the State Media Authority, the June 30th deadline, and the reaction of his media lawyer, Joachim Steinhöfel, who describes the action as censorship. Berndt explains how he learned of the demand, why he is fighting back despite the potential consequences, and what support he has received from the public and business community since then. The discussion also touches on the debate surrounding a potential ban on the AfD (Alternative for Germany party), reports that state media authorities are using an artificial intelligence called Kiwi to scan content and pass the findings on to the domestic intelligence agency, and the question of how far state influence on media professionals should be allowed to extend. A conversation about freedom of expression, freedom of the press, and the question of who in Germany will be allowed to determine how journalists ask their questions in the future. On NIUS Live, NIUS Editor-in-Chief Julian Reichelt, NIUS reporter Julius Böhm, legendary reporter Waldi Hartmann, and Ben Berndt, "Ben Ungeskriptet," spoke with host Alex Purrucker about the topic. ⚠️👉Watch it now, like, share, and subscribe! 🔴 NIUS LIVE, Germany's biggest conservative morning show, every Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. Now on nius.de, DAB+, and YouTube.
