It represents a short-sighted decision by business owners and politicians.<br \/>\n* The author concludes that relying on AI to quickly replace human workers without consideration of the impacts harms creativity, livelihoods and building a sustainable economy. But they note that change is happening rapidly and it may be too late to find an alternative approach.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virginia journalist: Fired by AI https:\/\/cardinalnews.org\/2026\/06\/03\/virginia-journalist-fired-by-ai\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-03 04:00:00 Source Domain: cardinalnews.org Here is&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":225026,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cardinalnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/admin-ajax.png?fit=600%2C450&ssl=1","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-225025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225025"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=225025"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225025\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":225027,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225025\/revisions\/225027"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/225026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=225025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=225025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=225025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
