A recent poll conducted by Poynter and the University of Minnesota showed that a significant number of Americans are not enthusiastic about the incorporation of artificial intelligence in journalism. Nearly half of the respondents expressed a lack of interest in AI reporting, with around 20 percent opposed to the technology's use in news altogether. The survey, which included a diverse sample of 1,128 participants, highlighted that a notable portion of the public distrusts AI-generated content, reflecting a broader skepticism toward the intersection of technology and journalism amid growing familiarity with AI in daily life.
In a new poll conducted by Poynter and the University of Minnesota, nearly half of the respondents said they don't want AI reporting the news to them.
30 percent of respondents had 'no confidence at all' in news organizations using AI to write articles and 32 percent felt the same about AI creating images.
More than half of the survey's respondents believe publishers are already using generative AI to create images and articles, increasing distrust in media.
The data suggests if you build it, do not expect overwhelming demand for it, indicating skepticism about AI's role in journalism.
