Electronic and print media have undergone significant changes over time, with new technological advancements transforming the dynamics of journalism. One of the most notable developments is the emergence of AI journalism, a specialized field dedicated to studying artificial intelligence and disseminating information about it to the public. As with any new technology, AI journalism generates both curiosity and fear. AI journalists aim to dispel myths about AI and foster a communicative environment to enhance understanding of this new tool.

Mattia Peretti, in a comprehensive article for the Global Investigative Journalism Network, addresses the concerns surrounding AI. He views AI as a transformational opportunity that can revamp traditional news organizations. Peretti’s tone is optimistic about the role AI can play in improving journalism. He highlights that while AI has its challenges, humans will always control its management. The efficient use of AI can free journalists from mundane tasks like content filtering and labor-intensive ones like data management. Allowing space for AI trials will help clarify its advantages and disadvantages, alleviating fears of the unknown.
