How I Use AI as a Professional Writer: In the Interest of Full Disclosure and Debate

There’s an ongoing debate about artificial intelligence: what it can do, what it should do, what harm it can cause, if and how to regulate it, and even whether or not it should exist.

Inside newsrooms, there are discussions about appropriate uses of AI in journalism. The stances range from “it is never acceptable” to “let’s use AI as if it is another employee.” For examples of the latter, note that the Washington Times and Business Insider both have an AI news desk, meaning a section of articles written by and attributed to AI.
