The impact of AI on the journalism industry has sparked significant public interest. According to Professor Deng Jianguo, a doctoral advisor at Fudan University's School of Journalism, AI should be seen as a smart assistant rather than a replacement for journalists. He emphasizes that AI lacks a physical presence, preventing it from engaging directly with the real world. Additionally, the timeliness of its data can limit its effectiveness, particularly in investigative journalism. For instance, recent investigations into tanker trucks highlight the limitations of AI's capabilities. Deng advocates for viewing AI as a valuable, though non-core, tool within the journalist's toolbox.
