Is AI the New Editor in Chief of the Modern Newsroom?

Artificial Intelligence has quietly entered the newsroom, taking over routine tasks like earnings reports and sports scores. But as Large Language Models (LLMs) become more sophisticated, the question arises: how far will this go?

Some argue that AI frees up human journalists to focus on investigative reporting. Others fear a homogenization of voice and a loss of accountability.

"It's a tool, not a replacement," says Maria Gonzalez, a veteran editor. "AI can process data faster than any human, but it can't look a source in the eye and tell if they're lying."
