Abstract

Artificial Intelligence(AI) technologies offer opportunities for news organizations to become more efficient. At the same time, the adoption of AI in journalism raises concerns, including whether such efficiency-driven AI applications will endanger the democratic function of news organizations. In this paper, we present a Design Thinking (DT) process that draws on co-creation with journalists, aims to balance efficiency and quality standards, and prototypes a responsible AI application for journalism. We conceptualized the DT Process based on interdisciplinary literature and tested it in a project with journalism students from a leading German journalism school.
