“The AI that hacks any system and why it won't be available to everyone”
Left
La Diaria
“Graphic of the week | Artificial intelligence and work: high potential, (for now) limited use -”
🔍 Analysis: El Observador frames the news from a perspective of threat and technological exclusivity, highlighting AI's hacking capabilities.

Daily summary
Main topics: Public Safety, Artificial Intelligence, Sports, Crime
Most balanced outlet: Montevideo Portal, due to its ability to cover both security issues and local events with a neutral informative approach.
The right didn't cover: The right wing did not cover the investigation into the murder in Treinta y Tres, leaving that space to centrist and left-wing media. It also did not highlight the labor impact of AI, focusing more on the technology per se.
The left didn't cover: The left wing omitted coverage of the interpellation of minister Carlos Negro in the Senate. Likewise, it did not give relevance to the Powerball lottery results, focusing instead on other agenda items.
“This week's agenda demonstrates that while technology generates global debates, local security remains fragmented by the perspective of each media outlet.”
