Trust in online news written and edited by AI vs humans UK 2024
A survey held on AI and journalism in January 2024 in the United Kingdom found that just 12 percent of respondents would trust an online news article written by an AI journalist and edited by an AI editor. This is contrast to 48 percent who said the same about content both created and edited by humans. Whilst the results suggest a lack of readiness for news content entirely generated and edited by AI, the data also highlights the general lack of trust in journalists and editors, with close to 40 percent saying they would not trust human journalists or editors either.
