Abstract

What were the beginnings of modern communication infrastructure? What is 'artificial intelligence' and what it imitates in 'natural intelligence'? Does its accuracy, reliability and objectivity make AI the journalists' friend or is it in fact an enemy due to the ongoing automation of editorial and publishing work? This two-part introduction to the problem of AI in journalism discusses all those questions and the hopes and fears that are connected with the new technology.
