As global trade tensions, geopolitical competition and economic uncertainty reshape the international landscape, South Africa’s ability to respond effectively depends increasingly on strong evidence-based policymaking.
This was the focus of a two-day policy dialogue hosted by Stellenbosch University’s (SU) Policy Innovation Lab, bringing together policymakers and experts to explore the future of economic diplomacy and strengthen the ability to translate evidence into practical policy advice.
This handbook analyses pressing legal and policy issues that have arisen in the rapidly changing media ecosystem: from threats to media freedom and pluralism and the safety of journalists to challenges arising from the shift to platform-based communication, the spread of disinformation and the impact of AI on media and news production.

Künstliche Intelligenz benötigt heute oft sehr viel Energie, besonders beim Training großer Modelle. Während klassische Computer Rechen- und Speicheroperationen im Chip meist räumlich trennen, sind diese im menschlichen Gehirn enger miteinander verknüpft: Neuronen (Nervenzellen) sind über Synapsen verbunden und verarbeiten Signale direkt an diesen Verbindungsstellen. Wenn Signale häufig oder besonders stark auftreten, verändern sich diese Verbindungen. Ein zentraler Mechanismus des Lernens besteht darin, dass das System frühere Aktivität speichert und sein Verhalten anpasst.
The DSA is increasingly attacked as "censorship law". This article argues: Its core purpose is to protect freedom of expression online.
