After doing some research it appears that the use of AI in journalism shows some significant promise One of the things that are on a lot of individuals' minds is the future of journalism jobs and the need for a human element to add an emotional flare to the work and accuracy of the information which can be challenging to quantify as much of journalism is dependent on both fact and the interpretation and emotional reaction of the points, the latter of which may be hard to replicate using solely AI. The other ethical implication of AI is the dependency on it to be free of bias which is something that is worth considering since it can be difficult to understand the inputs and logic of the AI reporting inaccuracies or even with a particular lens with the guise of being accurate is dangerous due to the implications of inciting one particular group. Lastly it would serve best to use AI in conjunction with human journalists because a symbiotic relationship would work best in order to ameliorate the problems of reporting that could result from AI dependency.
