The Fix\u00a0<\/em>came up with five recent publications and reports that attempt to answer these very controversial questions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The JournalismAI large-N study by Charlie Beckett analyzes the surveys 71 news organizations in 32 different countries regarding the AI implications for news media. Overall, 116 journalists contributed to the survey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is noteworthy that according to the survey the majority of respondents find AI technologies useful and beneficial if newsrooms keep their ethical and editorial stance. The report has the potential to make media managers rethink their editorial strategies, and find their own niche when it comes to using AI technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Year of publishing: <\/strong>2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Where to get:<\/strong>\u00a0lse.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn responsible hands and with carefully embedded prosocial values that reflect the public interest, automation and algorithms can be a powerful force for enhancing the efficiency, sustainability, and quality of news media, \u201d Nicholas Diakopoulos argues in his book entitled \u201cAutomated the News: How algorithms are rewriting the media\u201d. The book touches upon almost all domains of journalism and AI intersection and argues for the more intensive deployment of AI technologies in news media. It also sheds light on how AI can add value to journalistic pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Year of Publishing: <\/strong>2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Where to get:\u00a0<\/strong>Harvard University Press<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The book studies the impact the \u201cBig Five\u201d companies \u2013 Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft \u2013 have had on the work of media organizations worldwide. It further delves into the increasingly important role of automation in news media and the role of algorithms in the post-truth age. One of the main focuses of the research is the media\u2019s zombie problem<\/a> and the ways to tackle it. The author demonstrates how Artificial Intelligence can help human intelligence explain the world in the digital age. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Year of publishing: <\/strong>2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where to get: <\/strong>Routledge<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Will we still need journalists in the future or will artificial intelligence be sufficient? That is the central question asked in the report prepared by the Debate Monitor, the Media Authority of NRW. The report furthermore explains in which editorial areas AI is most frequently used. Apart from that, whether the use of AI in media and democratic principles, such as freedom of expression and freedom of information can be compatible, is another focus of the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Year of publishing: <\/strong>2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where to find: <\/strong>medienanstalt-nrw.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the report published in Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, it is argued that AI will inevitably have \u2018major repercussions\u2019 on all domains of public life. They suggest that journalists should act proactively in the development of AI technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The report also suggests which type of newsrooms need to actively use AI technologies and which do not have such needs. The authors also elaborate on the difficulties of building AI systems and ways to solve this problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Year of publishing: 2019 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Where to find: <\/strong>SAGE Publications<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Artificial intelligence has become the subject of academic research and debate in recent years. If you are curious about the state of scholarship on AI and journalism interrelation, we recommend checking out recent research by Sonia Parratt-Fern\u00e1ndez et al. that dives into the dynamics of research developments regarding AI and journalism. The report also examines the research methods applied in AI and journalism research and points out the gaps that the scholarship has yet to fill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Year of publishing<\/strong>: 2021 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Where to get:<\/strong> Profesional de la informaci\u00f3n<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Teona Sekhniashvili<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This piece was\u00a0originally published in\u00a0The Fix<\/a>\u00a0and is re-published with permission.
