Amnesty International has made its way to the newsroom – and correspondents say it is already changing everything
The survey finds that the majority of journalists expect work losses in artificial intelligence
Fears grow on influencing integrity, bias and human role in news rooms.
More than half of working journalists believe that artificial intelligence will replace an increasing number of jobs in the profession, According to a new global survey conducted by Pressat.
The poll, which collected responses from 2000 journalists, found that 57.2 percent are concerned about artificial intelligence will lead to more losses in jobs in the coming years. More than 70 percent said they are actively worried about displacement by artificial intelligence in the near future.
The respondents were martyred with a set of technologies that already reshape the industry, including automated content generation, social media monitoring on artificial intelligence, and editing decisions that depend on algorithm. Some described the shift as “calm extinction” of traditional journalism roles.
The general public also fears the negative effects of the IQ Agency in the press, and revealed a survey of 2024 conducted by the Pew Research Center. Nearly half of the adults believe that artificial intelligence will have a negative effect (24 %) or somewhat (26 %) on the news that Americans receive over the next twenty years. On the other hand, only 10 % believe that artificial intelligence will have a positive effect (2 %) or somewhat (8 %).
Another poll conducted by the Global News Publishers Association conducted by the International Publishers Association, to the increasing concerns about financial security and mental health among the journalists, as well as the broader effects of freedom of the press. To make their expenses meet, the majority of journalists are increasingly looking for alternative sources of income, turning into public relations roles (37 %), teaching (34 %), non -profit work (20 %), content marketing (19 %), and even functions such as real estate delivery, and the delivery of Tarda.
While only 2 percent of those surveyed were directly reported about the job of Amnesty InternationalAnd others were an automation suspects as a contribution factor. In addition, 33.7 per cent said that they witnessed the use of Amnesty International to track and surface news stories through social platforms.
The results reflect the increasing uncertainty not only about the stability of employment, but also the broader effects of the spontaneous organization of ethics and journalistic practice. More than 80 percent of the survey journalists have expressed concern that stories created of artificial intelligence can be biased or discriminatory. One of the respondents said they had already seen evidence of this bias in practice.
One of the journalists commented: “Artificial intelligence is not a tool, it is a threat,” adding that artificial intelligence systems often fail to understand the context, humanity or morals – although it is cheaper in implementation.
The majority of the respondents – more than 60 percent – also expressed concern that artificial intelligence can contribute to the loss of human identity and independence in the press. Some have raised the risk that the use of artificial intelligence in news production weakened the independence of liberation and reduces the role of critical investigation in the reports.
Only 26.2 percent believes that artificial intelligence can enhance investigative journalism, while 30.4 percent said they see it pose a direct threat to its integrity. Meanwhile, 57.6 percent was about the vision of artificial intelligence in the use of fracture stories through social media activity.
Although nearly half of the respondents acknowledged that artificial intelligence can create new roles in the press, especially about managing artificial intelligence tools, many have questioned the preparation of news rooms. Most of them classified their organization’s willingness to adopt ethical and effective artificial intelligence between 2 and 4 on a scale 5.
Just a small part of those surveyed, they felt that their employers had a clear plan for how to introduce artificial intelligence in the functioning of the editorial work. One of the journalists said: “We have been thrown into this blind, and our credibility will cost us.”
The poll indicates that while artificial intelligence continues to reshape the information scene, many journalists feel that they are not equipped with adaptation. The shift raises basic questions about the future of the profession and the role of human rule in news reporting.
