Abstract
Artificial intelligence has become increasingly pervasive throughout the entire news cycle. In response to this trend, this paper explores journalists’ sociotechnical imaginaries concerning the integration of AI in news production, focusing on their perceptions of AI’s opportunities and ethical challenges. The study also examines the influence of diverse media and discourse cultures on these perceptions by conducting problem-centered interviews with journalists from China, Japan, Switzerland, and the UK. Through an inductive thematic analysis of the interviews, the results reveal that journalists across these four countries acknowledge the potential advantages of AI in journalism, such as enhanced efficiency and improved data analysis. However, their expectations regarding human-machine collaboration in news work vary according to cultural contexts. Furthermore, the findings highlight that the interviewed journalists advocate for the design and implementation of AI systems to adhere to ethical standards.
