Abstract

This essay discusses how AI-generated content contributes to the spread of misinformation in news media, by explaining a series of high-profile cases in which AI tolls have produced unreliable or misleading information. It will compare AI-written news articles with those produced by traditional journalists to reveal the limitations of AI-genereated content in terms of factual ac-curacy, context awareness, and ethical considerations. By exploring the gatekeeping theory, the essay argues that the traditional editorial safe-guards with news production are weakened when AI involved in the process of news production. Finally, the essay will explore how AI use in journalism can be more responsibly regulated through technological safeguards, institutional standards, and policy preventions. The paper seeks to show that while AI may be a useful tool in the newsroom, it must be used with caution, supervision, and accountability in order to minimize the ongoing crisis of misinformation.
