Citizen Koenig: Hesitancy, hope using artificial intelligence for news work – North Coast Current

The author, Roman S. Koenig, expresses conflict over using AI in journalism due to both opportunity and necessity despite his issues with early AI adoption.
Concerns about AI in journalism include skeptical audiences questioning the legitimacy of content and concerns about job displacement for journalists as news outlets adopt AI.
Recent examples of AI issues include retracted articles by non-existent authors and plagiarism by AI companies.
Koenig uses AI for non-critical aspects of his publishing work at North Coast Current, mainly for efficiency and capacity to cover more information.
He employs a rigorous four-step process for using AI, ensuring that AI-assisted content is fact-checked thoroughly before publication.
Koenig stresses the importance of transparency when using AI and hopes for responsible use as a supportive tool rather than a replacement for human journalists.
