摘要

新闻业正处于一个根本性的变革点，需要各组织为新闻报道提出新的想法和格式。此外，移动领域数据、传感器和技术进步的显著激增为新闻实践的许多领域（尤其是数据新闻）带来了不可估量的好处。鉴于在新闻业中实现人工智能的相对新颖性和复杂性，很少有领域能够在媒体行业部署量身定制的人工智能解决方案。在这项研究中，通过结合参与者观察和采访的混合方法，我们解释了在拉丁美洲领先的新闻机构阿根廷报纸La Nación中部署计算机视觉新闻项目（人工智能的一个子集）的障碍和障碍。我们的研究结果突出了实施涉及卫星图像的计算机视觉项目的四大困难：缺乏高分辨率图像、缺乏技术基础设施、缺乏开发此类代码的合格人员，以及需要大量投资的漫长而昂贵的实施过程。本文最后讨论了人工智能解决方案在大型科技公司手中的中心地位。

From Data Journalism to Artificial Intelligence: Challenges Faced by La Nación in Implementing Computer Vision in News Reporting

Journalism is at a radical point of change that requires organizations to come up with new ideas and formats for news reporting. Additionally, the notable surge of data, sensors and technological advances in the mobile segment has brought immeasurable benefits to many fields of journalistic practice (data journalism in particular). Given the relative novelty and complexity of implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in journalism, few areas have managed to deploy tailored AI solutions in the media industry. In this study, through a mixed-method approach that combines both participant observations and interviews, we explain the hurdles and obstacles to deploying computer vision news projects, a subset of AI, in a leading Latin American news organization, the Argentine newspaper La Nación. Our results highlight four broad difficulties in implementing computer vision projects that involve satellite imagery: a lack of high-resolution imagery, the unavailability of technological infrastructure, the absence of qualified personnel to develop such codes, and a lengthy and costly implementation process that requires significant investment. This article concludes with a discussion of the centrality of AI solutions in the hands of big tech corporations.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
