Artificial Intelligence(AI) is actually a revolution in itself.
Somebody said and I quote " AIs are not tools of replacement but tools of empowerment.
Journalists are not given a future for a job security on whether AI will replace them. Ir is surface to say that AI may replace journalists through cutting on costs. But there are some jobs that machines can do and others that humans can do and cannot be replicated by machines.
***However, we need to equip journalists with tools that can be able to make them more efficient in their reporting. Such tools need to be found or are there and need to be fairly distributed to all.
Journalism play a major role in reporting and thus shaping the public in understanding of AI. Its impact on the information ecosystem is of great value.
Which tools do they need?
They need hope for the future.
Journalusts need to be trusted with the responsibility of reporting about AI and its impacts.
We can also equis them with business tools.
