Abstract

The article focuses on the convergence between artificial intelligence (AI) and political journalism in the three South Asian republics. Political journalism in such countries tends to be criticized because of misinformation, biased journalism, and poor nonsupervisory fabrics. The present discussion attempts to consider the future impact of AI-based tools on journalism and how these tools can reduce the pitfalls of fake news. The first hypothesis is to becomes the state of being a political journalism in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, and to estimate possible eventuality of AI technology in enhancing delicacy, responsibility and credibility in news coverage. The qualitative approach is followed due to relative analysis of the media structures, case studies, and interviews with intelligencers, experimenters, and media experts. Findings suggest that similar AI-based tools such as automated fact-checking, natural language processing, and sentiment analysis can greatly decrease misinformation and increase the amount of trust the population places in journalism. A unique feature of this paper is its comparative emphasis on the three interrelated democracies that provide the region-related approach to the role of AI into empowering political journalism. AI can be incorporated in media houses in order to streamline the verification processes. The enhancement of political journalism by means of AI can protect popular values and protect citizens against manipulation. The political journalism in South Asia has the radical potential of being transformed by AI through establishing trust, credibility, and populist flexibility.
