The educated people who have been educated in the journalism schools opened under various names in Turkey since 1948, the media has developed and has taken a great stride in the field of communication. However, with the development of technology in recent years; 'Artificial Intelligence Robots', which have entered many areas of our lives, have also started to enter the media sector. 'Artificial Intelligence Journalists', which emerged especially with the initiatives of Microsoft, have recently begun to disturb media workers in many parts of the world. Concerned that robots will take their jobs, 'flesh-and-bones journalists' in the media have sought how to fight these 'iron-heap journalists'. Although this situation does not pose a threat for the Turkish media yet, experts and scientists warn the traditional journalists who are still working and recommend that they take precautions on the issue of 'Artificial Intelligence Journalists'. Not only that; they also warn future journalists who are currently studying media at universities. In order to cope with “Artificial Intelligence Journalists”, besides the existing basic curriculum; They emphasize that taking some software courses such as Coding and Artificial Intelligence will be important for their future in the media. In this article, we will try to suggest solutions by examining these problems that artificial intelligence can bring to the media world, with the evaluation of experts.
