Advertising agencies are not immune to this reality and have also experienced the effects of AI through the advent and widespread use of technologies that enable the design, creation, editing, and writing of content for the advertising industry. This article allows us to measure the impact of the arrival of AI in several advertising agencies, independent and holding companies (such as McCann and Havas Media) in Rio de Janeiro and Catalonia. The research analyses the use and integration of these programs in creative and productive processes based on 25 in-depth interviews with 13 directors and 12 creatives in both regions. The results show that agencies are using generative AI tools, but for different purposes, and that in some cases, AI is related to the advertising creation process, while in others, it is used for tasks related to the design of strategic communication plans or even the design of prototypes and models. Although there is unanimous agreement on the benefits of AI, there are concerns about ethical issues and its use in the finalists' work. This article allows us to glimpse new lines of research related to the implementation of generative AI tools in advertising creativity, customer relationship management, and advertising production.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"49 8","pages":"Article 103033"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145048643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Historically, the responsibility for ensuring the resilience of their own infrastructures has lain with the individual network operators.

Concurrently, EU lawmakers and legal scholars have developed new regulatory and normative frameworks to safeguard media freedom from large technology companies. However, this work focuses on platforms' control over access to large audiences; it remains unclear how AI companies' power over infrastructure inside newsrooms challenges media freedom. This paper therefore explores how European law should address the challenges to media freedom posed by the media's dependence on the infrastructure controlled by AI companies. It does so in two steps. First, it evaluates why the media's dependence on AI companies poses a challenge to the fundamental right to media freedom. It finds that media organizations' loss of control over the values embedded in the AI tools they use to inform the public poses the most pressing challenge. Second, it explores the suitability of existing EU law to address three conditions (algorithmic opacity, lock-in effects, and resource disparities) for the media's infrastructural reliance on AI companies. It finds that existing EU law does not adequately address these conditions. However, especially horizontal regulation targeting AI tools and the underlying cloud infrastructure do offer regulatory tools that can be applied or adapted to safeguard media freedom from infrastructural reliance on AI companies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"49 7","pages":"Article 102990"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144810223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We then apply K-means clustering to determine regional susceptibility to digital and competitiveness spillovers. Our novel approach combines digitalization and competitiveness analyses at a granular NUTS2 level, revealing heterogeneous digitalization patterns across European regions. The research identifies regions where digital spatial spillovers are most effective and those at risk of being left behind. Additionally, both competitiveness and digitalization show a relevant nationalization effect, where the spatial spillover between regions appears inside each country with limited effect on neighbouring Member States.

Although it has been a central policy, gaps remain in understanding the factors that predict connectivity among these communities. Evidence indicates that rural communities face unique challenges shaped by geographical and socioeconomic contexts, as well as accelerated digitalization due to COVID-19, reshaping access for many underserved areas. This study investigates how connectivity in marginalized rural communities has evolved over time in Chile. We conducted a mixed-method longitudinal study in rural towns across northern, central, and southern Chile, applying a relational and resource-based model for digital inclusion. We compared survey data and interviews collected in 2014–2015 and 2023. In particular, we explored data from 2014 to 2015 to analyze internet adoption levels through face-to-face surveys in 11 rural villages (N = 598) and in-depth interviews (N = 21) in three of them, revealing the importance of personal, social, and material resources for adoption. In 2023, we revisited the same communities (survey N = 449, interviews N = 15). Data comparison shows that while some predictors of Internet adoption became non-relevant over time, others, such as age and education, remain the strongest connectivity predictors. In addition, contextual factors—such as younger populations, generational expectations, and shifting attitudes and demands toward digital availability—contribute to persistent discourses of digital marginalization despite infrastructure improvements.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"49 7","pages":"Article 102994"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144810173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
