How Will Artificial Intelligence Change the News Business?

The article we refer to illustrates precisely one of the biggest concerns nowadays, especially for workers within the field. With the introduction of AI, how will the field dedicated to the dissemination of information and news change?

The first theory holds that AI services will completely replace journalism. Online news organizations are poised to generate more content in the fastest way possible: by asking AIs to compose stories about X or Y for direct or later edited publication.

The second, of a considerably more positive bent, proposes the idea in which AI will improve the methodologies used by the journalism industry. It will make some journalistic operations more productive by automating, in part, the most "friction-laden" processes.

The third, and final, theory of the case advances a thought only rarely considered: AI will engulf journalism and all that goes with it. Process automation would be a huge source of labor disputes, pushing workers into less creative, and increasingly industrialized, tasks.
