Impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on journalism education

Abstract: Within just a decade, artificial intelligence (AI) has profoundly transformed nearly every aspect of social life. Journalism, initially marked by apprehension, has gradually moved toward acceptance and adaptation to the integration of AI into professional practices. This transformation has, in turn, reshaped both the content and pedagogical approaches of journalism education. By analyzing the impacts of AI on journalism in general and on journalism education in particular, this article clarifies how AI influences curricula, teaching methods, faculty competencies, and the institutional infrastructure of journalism education in Viet Nam. On that basis, the study proposes a set of recommendations to assist journalism training institutions in integrating AI into pedagogical practices in a responsible and effective manner.
