Abstract
Abstract
This article looks at three directions in which artificial intelligence is developing in journalism: automated journalism, AI-generated news anchors and AI-based fake news detection. How effective is artificial intelligence when it comes to news reporting? How does a robot present a news story? How does AI distinguish fake news from real news. These are some of the questions on which I have built this article. The research results show that although artificial intelligence has been strongly introduced in major newsrooms and often outperforms the human factor, the human journalist is still indispensable. This is due to the limitations of artificial intelligence to fully understand natural human language, but also due to its inability to deeply analyse everyday events.
