"It Might be Technically Impressive, But It's Practically Useless to Us": Practices, Challenges, and Opportunities for Cross-Functional Collaboration around AI within the News Industry
Recently, an increasing number of news organizations have integrated
artificial intelligence (AI) into their workflows, leading to a further influx
of AI technologists and data workers into the news industry. This has initiated
cross-functional collaborations between these professionals and journalists.
While prior research has explored the impact of AI-related roles entering the
news industry, there is a lack of studies on how cross-functional collaboration
unfolds between AI professionals and journalists. Through interviews with 17
journalists, 6 AI technologists, and 3 AI workers with cross-functional
experience from leading news organizations, we investigate the current
practices, challenges, and opportunities for cross-functional collaboration
around AI in today's news industry. We first study how journalists and AI
professionals perceive existing cross-collaboration strategies. We further
explore the challenges of cross-functional collaboration and provide
recommendations for enhancing future cross-functional collaboration around AI
in the news industry.
