Journalism classes lack a consistent approach to AI use across institutions

Artificial intelligence is steadily becoming more embedded in journalism; part of how journalists write, edit, research and more. But little is known about how future journalists are learning about the technology. New research from the University of Kansas has found that journalism classes across the country are taking varying approaches, from considering its use in academic dishonesty to encouraging its use or discussing the matter philosophically. That scattershot approach can both shortchange and confuse students, while more consistency could better serve education and practice, according to the authors.
