The Ethical and Political Impact of Artificial Intelligence Decisions on the News Production Process in Media and Journalism

The current study delves thoroughly into popular opinions and attitudes regarding the use of artificial intelligence in Arab journalism, given the pervasive effect of artificial intelligence on media and journalism. We aim to respond to several critical inquiries from academics, the artificial intelligence community, and the journalism sector. The public's current knowledge, feelings, concerns, desires, and expectations regarding artificial intelligence in the media sector were investigated through an online poll. It was discovered that the audience was well aware of how artificial intelligence is being used in journalism and other media, with the most familiar component being the description of certain news items that use artificial intelligence. One of the most important results of this study is that the public prefers to use artificial intelligence in news report format more than in creating news or media content. In terms of a variety of media content and news creation procedures, the people had varying preferences. Lastly, most people said that in future news production, human review and artificial intelligence modes should work in tandem.
