Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the evolution of mass media during the era of artificial intelligence (AI) and analyse the significance and consequences of automated (robot) journalism. Additionally, the study seeks to identify the advantages and obstacles associated with the integration of robot journalism within the media sector. The present study utilises a qualitative descriptive methodology. The data gathering methodologies employed in this study encompass a comprehensive literature review and in-depth interviews. The literature sources employed in this study encompass a range of scientific journals, papers, books, and relevant research reports, supplemented with interviews. The findings of this study suggest that the implementation of automated (robot) journalism within the media industry enhances operational effectiveness in news production, enabling the creation of a greater volume of content within a shorter timeframe. Robots continuously monitor news sources, allowing them to create and provide content to readers in a timely manner, which permits the effective distribution of news in real-time. Robot journalism increases the accuracy of data collection and analysis, making it easier to produce news pieces that are based on reliable data, thus increasing their reliability. However, the integration of robot journalism may have implications for employment dynamics, potentially resulting in a decrease in the workforce engaged in the news production process.
