Can Artificial Intelligence Save Journalism?

We are at a crossroads. A crossroads that will in large part determine the future of journalism. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented crisis that could decimate certain media organizations. One possible solution has been proposed: artificial intelligence (AI). AI refers "to intelligent machines that learn from experience and perform tasks like humans," according to Francesco Marconi, a professor of journalism at Columbia University in New York who has just published a book on the subject: Newsmakers, Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Journalism.
