ESPN argued that AI helps cover "under-served sports," providing fans with previously unavailable content, rather than replacing journalists. This maintains coverage for lesser-known leagues.
The fear among living journalists is that utilizing AI for recaps could lead to job reductions, with critics questioning why ESPN doesn't hire more reporters instead.
ESPN emphasized that all AI-generated recaps will be reviewed by a human editor, ensuring quality and accuracy, and that transparency will be maintained in labeling.
Each AI-generated recap will be labeled as "ESPN Generative AI Services" at the top, and a disclaimer will inform users of the review process for the content.
