AI in the newsroom: the ethical approach

Every journalist wants their audience to trust them. In return the audience expects their journalist to be accurate, fair and impartial. Throw artificial intelligence (AI) into the mix and things can get trickier if you’re not prepared. AI-tools are hugely beneficial to so many newsrooms but they come at a cost. The cost, if you don’t have the right policies in place, can be reputational damage, legal trouble and damage to audience trust. So if you’re using AI or you plan it’s time to take the ethical approach.
