In the short study “Artificial Intelligence and Employees in Journalism”, the authors analyse the use of AI tools in journalism from the perspective of employees. Drawing on expert interviews, an evaluation of the scientific literature and a text analysis of voluntary AI guidelines and position papers on the use of AI, the authors explore questions such as: How do journalists perceive the use of AI-supported tools? What consequences do they expect for their everyday work and their professional image? How are works councils involved? The study concludes with six practical, actionable recommendations.
