Is A.I. a Journalist or Just a Newsroom Tool?

The discussion surrounding A.I. in journalism has intensified, particularly with the publication of an article questioning whether A.I. can be considered a journalist or if it is simply a tool for newsrooms. This inquiry is framed by the historical context of the Denver Post newsroom in 1974, a time when the news industry was on the brink of transformation due to the digital revolution. Since then, the landscape of journalism has evolved dramatically, and A.I. is now seen as a potential catalyst for further change. As the industry grapples with the implications of integrating A.I., it is essential to explore its capabilities and limitations. The ongoing debate reflects broader concerns about the future of journalism and the role of technology in shaping how news is produced and consumed.
