The erosion of human editorial judgement by AI is now becoming an extremely worrying and seemingly unstoppable force – as reported in a post by ‘The Conversation’ in WNIP (https://whatsnewinpublishing.com/the-importance-of-editors-in-the-age-of-highly-unreliable-ai/). Discussing the news that the German newspaper Bild will be replacing editors with AI to cut jobs and costs, the article points out the value that human editors bring to the publishing process and illustrates the inherent unreliability of AI, which could introduce biases that may seriously undermine the editorial credibility and accountability of previously trusted publications. Altogether now …. “TAKE BACK CONTROL – KEEP EDITORS HUMAN”.
