A survey held on AI and journalism in January 2024 in the United Kingdom found that just ** percent of respondents would trust an online news article written by an AI journalist and edited by an AI editor. This is contrast to ** 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 ** percent saying they would not trust human journalists or editors either.
