Global audiences suspicious of AI-powered newsrooms, report finds

A new report by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism highlights global concerns about the use of AI in news production and misinformation. Newsrooms are facing challenges as tech giants and startups develop AI tools to generate news summaries and divert traffic from news websites. However, the report found that consumers are skeptical of AI-generated news, particularly when it comes to politics. Additionally, worries about false news content online have increased, especially in countries like South Africa and the US where elections are taking place. The report also notes the reluctance of audiences to pay for news subscriptions and the rising influence of news influencers on platforms like TikTok.
