The concept of artificial intelligence (AI) gets thrown around a lot but it often means different things to different people. For newsrooms, the most useful definition could go something like "things that a computer does that normally require a human journalist."
We use AI every day. If you ever tried to google something, searched your inbox to find an old email or used the autocorrect feature in your text editor, all these tasks are powered by algorithms to save you the manual work. But when it comes to taking this one step further and using technology to perform some of the journalistic tasks, many newsrooms adopt the stress response: flight, fight or freeze.
