"The reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) in newsrooms has become increasingly common worldwide. This technology is used to enhance the efficiency of news gathering, editing, and distribution. Despite the numerous benefits that can be gained from these technologies, they also create many profess ... ional challenges for journalists, which can pose a challenge to increase their use and reliance on AI tools. Using the innovation diffusion theory, a qualitative approach was adopted focusing on Al-Mamlaka TV in Jordan as a case study. In-depth interviews were conducted with 14 journalists working in the newsroom at the headquarters of Al-Mamlaka TV in the capital of Jordan, Amman. The findings concluded that four key challenges affect journalists' use of AI in a newsroom: lack of knowledge and training, language barriers, lack of trust and credibility, and limited tasks. This study contributes to clarifying the challenges that hinder the adoption of AI in a newsroom, which can help media and journalistic institutions find solutions to effectively benefit from AI and avoid such challenges. In addition, the current study provides a theoretical framework for future researchers to further focus on the challenges of AI in newsrooms and utilize different sampling and methodological approaches, such as qualitative and quantitative methods.

"Artificial intelligence has started to expand in journalism, especially in advanced news organisations. It is evident that journalists are beginning to realise the importance of AI and that it will be a partner to human journalists in their work inside newsrooms. Despite the numerous benefits that ... AI contributes to journalism, several challenges hinder the expansion and spread of its adoption among journalists. The ethical challenges of AI systems have become a concern among journalists. Therefore, this research is guided by the relationship between technological development and media ethics as the philosophical study of morality, specifically the Social Responsibility Theory. This study adopts a qualitative approach to explore the ethical challenges of AI faced by journalists. In-depth interviews were conducted with 14 journalists working in the newsroom of a government-affiliated channel, Al Mamlaka TV in Jordan. Data obtained from interviews conducted were analysed thematically. The results concluded that the main ethical challenges faced by journalists in the newsroom in adopting AI are data bias; privacy violations; and the absence of legislation and international regulations regarding the use of AI in journalism. The study concludes that journalists at Al Mamlaka TV adhere to the basics of Social Responsibility Theory through their critical adoption of AI in the newsroom." (Abstract) more
