摘要

This study explores the perspectives of media professionals on the concerns, needs, and responsibilities related to fostering AI literacy among journalists. We report on findings from two workshops with journalists (based in the USA, the UK, China, and India), as well as representatives of civil society organizations and academic specialists in media and AI literacy. Through a reflexive qualitative analysis of data collected during the workshops, we examine the obstacles to AI literacy development among journalists and the quality of resources currently available to them for learning about AI and AI ethics. We highlight the most pressing needs in AI-focused education for journalists and surface participants’ ideas for potential solutions, including an authoritative online compendium on AI and journalism and a database of diverse expert voices. We point to the areas where relevant stakeholders should direct their efforts to support journalists in navigating AI responsibly and critically.
