"AI has played a role in journalism for quite a while." In this episode, Pete Pachal comes to chat about the transformative impact of AI on journalism and how journalists can use artificial intelligence, addressing both the challenges and opportunities it presents.

We cover the importance of managing expectations around AI's capabilities, the historical context of machine-generated content in newsrooms, and the need for ethical practices in AI implementation. We also discuss the million-dollar question: will AI replace actual human journalists?
