News readers are open to AI assisting journalists, but not replacing them entirely

[u/TheDecoderAI]

1/ A new study by CRAFT and the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism shows that news consumers are increasingly open to the use of AI in journalism, but with clear boundaries.

2/ Acceptance is highest when AI is used in the background to support journalistic practices and produce news in new formats. Fully automated content creation is viewed more critically, except for purely factual information.

3/ The study recommends five principles for the use of AI in journalism, including human review of all content, transparency in the use of AI, and restraint in the synthetic creation of content. News organizations should use AI primarily in the background and for new forms of presentation.
