This is the question at the heart of AI anxieties across many industries right now. For Journalists, this question is constantly being re-pondered and re-examined as more companies are\u00a0incorporating\u00a0AI into their\u00a0workflows. AI can help with research and background. It can do transcriptions and translations, generate illustrations, and produce podcasts with non-human hosts. It can now even write and edit pieces itself. And yet, AI-related job cuts in Journalism seem to be marginal &#8211; for now. Around two-thirds of the Media Managers the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism surveyed for its\u00a0Trends and Predictions report\u00a0said they haven\u2019t cut any jobs due to AI. This might be starting to change. Earlier this month, the Union that represents Associated Press Journalists said that more than 120 Staff Members\u00a0received buyout offers, just as the\u00a0company expressed its intention to pivot toward AI and video. But changes are going beyond potential job cuts. AI adoption is\u00a0widespread\u00a0and Journalists are protecting themselves from becoming collateral damage in this new era of disruption. As usual, things are moving especially fast in the U.S. where Unionized workers are revolting against their company\u2019s efforts to introduce AI in their workflows. Unions at three newspapers &#8211; The\u00a0Miami Herald, The Sacramento Bee and The Kansas City Star &#8211;\u00a0filed grievances\u00a0against their parent company McClatchy over the implementation of a new AI tool.<\/p>\n<p>To Continue Reading This Labor News Report, Go To: <a href=\"https:\/\/reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk\/news\/nailing-jell-o-wall-why-unions-are-struggling-protect-journalists-rights-age-ai\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u200b\u200b\u201cLike nailing jell-o to a wall\u201d: Why unions are struggling to protect journalists\u2019 rights in the age of AI | Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Graphic Courtesy Of The Reuters Institute For The Study Of Journalism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gretel Kahn\u00a0at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism reports: Will AI (Artificial Intelligence) come for my&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21995,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[24,25,11601,11602,11603],"class_list":["post-21994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ai","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-labor-news","tag-western-new-york","tag-wny"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21994"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21994\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
