AI's Role in Transforming Journalism Highlighted by Expert

Ms. Franca Ibuzo, the Chief Executive of Chesca Global Solutions Limited, stated that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the future of journalism by providing opportunities to enhance reporting, streamline workflows, and engage readers. In a press statement, she highlighted that AI can automate news gathering by scanning vast amounts of data and social media in real time, helping journalists identify breaking stories more quickly.

AI tools also assist in fact-checking and verification, crucial in an era of rising misinformation. Additionally, AI algorithms personalize content delivery to align with readers' interests, improving engagement.

Ibuzo noted that AI aids in multimedia enhancement, such as generating graphics and transcribing interviews, allowing journalists to focus on writing. She emphasized that AI empowers journalists rather than replaces them and called for media organizations to adopt AI responsibly while maintaining ethical standards, including transparency and accountability.

She urged management to equip reporters and editors with advanced tools to ensure credible and timely news delivery.
