Opportunities:

1. Efficiency and Speed:

 They analyze information much faster than humans. It can lead to quicker dissemination of news and
real-time reporting.

2. Consistency:

 They deliver information in a consistent manner, no biases or emotions that human reporters usually
might bring into their reporting.

3. 24/7 Availability:

 They can work around the clock without the need for breaks, ensuring a constant flow of
information.

4. Multilingual Capabilities:

 They can be programmed to report news in multiple languages, potentially reaching a broader
audience.

5. Data Analysis:

 They can process vast amounts of data and provide in-depth analyses, enhancing the depth and
quality of news coverage.

Challenges:

1. Lack of Human Touch:

 Reporting often involves empathy, understanding, and a human touch. AI may struggle to convey
emotions and connect with viewers on a personal level.

2. Creativity and Context:

 AI may find it challenging to provide context, analysis, or creative storytelling, which are crucial
aspects of journalism.

3. Bias in Programming:

 If not programmed carefully, AI could inadvertently perpetuate or amplify biases present in the data
it is trained on.

4. Ethical Concerns:

 Ethical considerations, such as the responsible use of AI, protection of privacy, and transparency in
decision-making, need to be addressed.

5. Adaptability to Breaking News:

 AI may struggle to adapt quickly to unforeseen events or rapidly changing situations, which are
common in the news industry.

6. Loss of Jobs:

 Widespread adoption of AI reporters could potentially lead to job losses in the journalism industry,
as AI takes over certain tasks traditionally performed by humans.

In summary, while AI can offer efficiency and speed in delivering news, it might lack the human elements crucial for
journalism, such as empathy, creativity, and adaptability to complex and evolving situations. A balanced approach,
combining the strengths of AI with human expertise, may be the most effective way forward in the field of
journalism.
AI as TV reporters: A threat or A revolutionary condition?

In today’s era of technological advancement, the idea of Artificial Intelligence (AI) serving as TV reporters has been
one of the major issues that catches people’s attention from its game-changing potential in different fields. Early
users may find it challenging and can pose confusing among people. While the proponents give the efficiency and
objectivity, it can also raise concerns about the loss of human touch, biases, and other implications. In this way, we
will discover the both sides to determine whether AI as TV reporter is revolutionary in journalism or a blackhole
threat to journalism integrity.

News reports are essential to people, it’s all the happenings around us and it must only contain facts wherein we
need the integrity and credibility of the one reporting. The idea of using AI as TV reporters can make the work of
journalist/reporters easier because they can analyze data faster than human, they can deliver in a constant manner,
reduces bias, and no emotions that the humans usually bring while reporting. Although it is a big help for us, we
can’t still deny the fact that AI’s can also be a threat to the different fields especially in journalism. There are some
challenges and opportunities that we may encounter in this matter.

Lack of integrity and credibility, Artificial Intelligence are also human interventions. They are programmed by humans
which will make them act accordingly. Do you still think that AI is reliable? If the AI is not programmed carefully, AI
might misunderstand it and will cause the news to be less reliable, it can be also biased, and confusing. Another
factor is creativity and context, AI is a kind of straight-forward and they may find it challenging to provide additional
context and analysis which are some aspects of journalism. AI may also struggle to adapt the unforeseen events
quickly, they are smart enough but they are also slow in terms of rapidly changing of situations, which are common in
the field of news report. AI has no emotions which results ineffective way of reporting that makes the news boring.

Additionally, since AI are human inventions, we might encounter some of it that are scammers. AI can be easily used
in this wide range of social medias. If the AI serving as TV reporter is used in a wrong way, we might experience
possible risk from those just like inaccurate gathered information that can be use against someone maliciously.
Moreover, reporting often involves empathy, understanding, and human touch that in that way, people may see the
connection between the reporter and the people. As AI might struggle to adopt this, they cannot connect people in a
personal manner. One of the biggest factors is loss of jobs, widespread of AI TV reporters could potentially lead to job
losses in the journalism industry, as they take over the work of human’s traditionally certain tasks.

The fact that the undeniable advantages of Artificial Intelligence help us to grow easily, there are also cons that we
need to consider. We can have the AI as our TV reporter if and only if it is necessary. Just in case we might run out of
people in journalism, we can use AI to substitute as temporary in the field. Since AI can work tirelessly 24/7, it can
also be use in some of the situations that humans cannot work. AI’s ability to deliver real-time updates can be
invaluable and ensures the audience to stay informed. Although it is right that it has many advantages, we can also
be in danger and at risk if it is not used properly. It is still risky to engage in that matter.

Remember that of all the cons that it could offer, the benefit of AI could also cost the life of a real human being.
Preserving the human integrity, empathy, and cultural understanding has a big factor and essential in journalism. This
matter should not only revolve around Artificial Intelligence can bring in the field of journalism but also on how to
ensure that these technologies of human intervention align with the values and principles of a standard. Executing a
balance that incorporates the Human Intelligence together with Artificial Intelligence in journalism may be a key to
an effective way of news reporting. We should safeguard the journalistic integrity and learn to be balanced, and safe.
