Therefore, this should be the effective coordination between humans and AI rather than being mutually exclusive. In modern journalism, it is essential for journalists to have a greater grasp of AI as they need a certain level of transparency to update and develop information relevant to society and work issues. At the same time as AI technology will gradually "personalize" the process to suit each journalist, journalists must be aware of the AI working system's processes such as outputs, operating systems, and what they can do to affect their own AI.
