“Technology has always been a disruptor of the status-quo and creator of new paradigms. News-media has experienced this change from the beginning. The latest entrant in the long list of disruptive technologies is AI, which is changing the media ecology with a great speed. New forms of journalism are being created. New questions related to journalistic ethics are emerging in the light of intersection of AI and journalism. This book, one of the pioneers in this domain, discusses these issues and attempts to answer some of the emerging questions. It is useful for understanding what AI is doing and can do in the field of journalism and other social studies and how one should effectively engage with it.”

“Generative Artificial Intelligence is very easy to use, which has led to its rapid uptake and current widespread use. With it, however, come a series of very important considerations. As automatic text generation becomes increasingly sophisticated and nearly indistinguishable from an author’s creation, questions of ethics, copyright, truthfulness of information, and provability of statements come to the forefront. This book provides an intriguing set of possibilities, and a novel journey into uncharted territory that is both compelling and realistic. It is an enjoyable, thought provoking read.”
