The pitch of journalism is extraordinary and the effect is profound. Artificial intelligence is restructuring today’s journalism. Journalism has turned into a battleground where AI with its premier tools will soon replace the way journalism is received by the people. Every new step is full of opportunities and this is how the future is built but at the same time also poses risks and hazards and requires time to adapt to the newness
WEall are coming across the new term AI which is artificial intelligence, interestingly through media such as newspapers, but hardly we paused and pondered that it might be posing a potential threat to the way we receive news and respond to the everchanging world around us. Artificial Intelligence is a way ahead in technology that is supposed to generate, process, and react the way human intelligence would do in certain situations. It’s a problem solver based on a database. Recently there has been great hype and speculations about it. But the critical question is would AI also possess human emotional intelligence, a must-have ingredient of journalism?
AI can act as a machine faster, quicker, and maybe more correctly. Technological fields and various industries will probably be tremendously benefited from it. Many economists believe that artificial intelligence can raise the productivity rate by 1.5% with the global GDP promising the rise by 7% across various economic sections including journalism.
Language is fundamental to journalism and AI can process languages but what about processing emotions? Can a machine think and emotionally react the way a human brain would do? Journalism is that field of work where extreme sensitivity to content, and realtime reactions to the emotions of people involved at the scene may be an interview or otherwise are required. Here empathy, understanding the narrative, and filtering it with objectivity yet having human touch are core principles. Handing it over to a machine - reaction seems doubtful. It may read some news for the audience but
journalism reaches beyond bringing us news. To gather the news from the field and map the truth or falsehood remain questionable through AI. Journalism is built upon trust. It is known to bring an impartial view of the situation and trigger human intelligence with meaningful questions so that the reader and viewer understand it objectively. Journalism has played an extremely significant part in making the histories of nations be it religion or politics from ancient times. Journalism has voiced popular opinion and provided a platform for the unheard. It is a responsible job. It is not about entertaining people with long debates and highlights of the day. The news leaves an impact on the human mind and that is the power of journalism. Will artificial intel-
ligence replace it with its highly advanced tools is yet to be seen. We have journalists who have revitalized society with their thoughtful writings. It’s the sheer wonder of the human mind which is full of dreams, and creations and can think beyond the unthinkable. It understands human behaviour and emotions. The whole point of journalism is the connection that it creates with the readers or audience. Can robot reporting replace this all? May be factually more apt and can also generate interesting versions of the stories with support images. It can scan in a matter of seconds the massive databank of happening news across various platforms but would it be as impactful remains for the future to unfold?
The pitch of journalism is ex-
Language is fundamental to journalism and AI can process languages but what about processing emotions? Can a machine think and emotionally react the way a human brain would do? Journalism is that field of work where extreme sensitivity to content, and real-time reactions to the emotions of people involved at the scene may become an interview piece or otherwise are required
traordinary and the effect is profound. Artificial intelligence is restructuring today’s journalism. Journalism has turned into a battleground where AI with its premier tools will soon replace the way journalism is received by the people. Every new step is full of opportunities and this is how the future is built but at the same time also poses risks and hazards and requires time to adapt to the newness. Artificial intelligence is promising but its employment in a field such as journalism raises concern, after all, journalism is not just how attractive or interesting a piece of news is. Journalism is the soul of a society and a nation.
We are a generation that has witnessed a transition in almost every phase be it society, economy, or technology and we have sought to embrace it with our
whole heart, however struggling it might have been. But the new leap of AI raises many doubts. Universities are coming up with AI journalism fellowship programs to understand and effect the future of journalism through artificial intelligence. Journalism is in a moment of great transition. AI may certainly derive the economy but there will be winners and losers in it. There will be more work done with less workforce reducing the cost, but parallelly, generating journalism of facts and figures not of connect. Will it be able to do justice to the work that lies on the responsible shoulders of a journalist? These are a few questions that need explanations before we are influenced and impacted by AI.

How do we as a race and a species, address these challenges? Whom shall we look to; what kind or type of individual or cohort might supply critical answers & solutions, whilst also preemptively asking the most pertinent questions, ultimately possessing the capacity to actually execute emerging fixes?
Is it the idealist politician of yore; the deeply morally upright individual who might, in the face of violence, turn and offer his other cheek? Or is it the dictatorial leader who might display a propensity to adopt and service a binary agenda, one that is far removed from the people’s? Or is it perhaps to be a monarch, that might rise like a phoenix from the ashes and sprinkle magical-gold dust and banish all of life’s woes?
There are no definitive answers, nor am I, of all people, qualified to pronounce decisive judgment on this. However, as a relatively free-thinking, aware, sensitive, erudite individual, I can share my considered views and opinions on the matter. Offer a proposal. One that I have arrived at after deep introspection, marrying my findings with a thorough scan and survey of the situation the world finds itself in. And here’s my simple submission.
EMPATH
The first essential saviour that comes to my mind is an Empath. The world, with all its frailty and woes, needs an individual with a genuine understanding and will to do right by all. A person who is naturally, intrinsically predisposed to doing good – for fellow humans, each gender, every species, the environment. Citizens across the planet, communities, reli-
gions, and socio-economic strata, need to be heard, interpreted intricately, and accepted entirely. There is a lot of accidental and conscious ‘othering’ that has taken place. Communities feel slighted, wronged, marginalized, maligned, sidelined, and have fallen by the wayside on the road to development and socio-economic as well as spiritual evolution. Only an Empath can bring them back through a nuanced and authentic recognition of their thoughts, brought about by a slew of atrocities, man-made or otherwise. An Empath has the
intellectual, and more importantly, emotional prowess to reunite the world and all its elements and occupiers into a harmonious whole.
ENVIRONMENTALIST
Until recently, it could be argued with some success, that the Environmentalist has been a human resource who has been largely relegated to certain myopic departments of governments and societies across nations. That he or she has been severely limited in their roles, involvement, and employability of their scholastic as well as societally relevant innovations. I suspect most will now agree, that time has come, to place an Environmentalist front and centre, empowered, and in charge. Almost every pursuit of
mankind is intertwined with the environment, with only the degree varying. Either inextricably, or at the least, in the form of impact-on-climate; production, manufacturing, services, and personal everyday lives of citizens – each has its own relationship with and consequent effect on the environment. How then, with the current degradation of the environment, can we not have someone with critical and clear knowledge of the environment, be at the forefront of policy, decision-making, innovation, ideation and implementation? Be it personal carbon footprints to the Artificial Intelligence universe, it is the Environmentalist that will serve as the guardian, reality-check, minder, keeper, preserver and protector of the planet, thereby making him or her, an absolutely crucial and indispensable component of a new world order.
EDUCATOR
This final resource, you’d be forgiven for inferring, is to propagate my own kind, being an Educator. I promise however, it isn’t. When I say Educator, in the context of this article that is exploring a new normal in terms of ‘leading the world’; the term is being used rather broadly and liberally. As Educator, I do not, therefore, confine that role to one who might be a primary, middle or high-school teacher. Nor do I limit it to an Academic or an Education-Entrepreneur. By Educator, I mean an individual who embodies an amalgam of Learned & Lived Experiences. Let me further clarify.
Someone who is perhaps a Scholar of Philosophy, combining that ‘learned knowledge’ with
vast & diverse ‘lived-life experiences’, from which emerges an organic wisdom. The complementary facet of Knowledge & Wisdom is what is needed, in my view, to lead the world. Someone who can assess the problems, ideate solutions, and design programs that are practical, resultoriented, and realistically executable remedies. A person who has the scholastic intellect, pragmatism, and power to implement and affect mass mobilization and mass-change. A simple example could be the increasing rate of student suicides. An Educator who understands, at a cerebral level, the reasons for this angst, can deploy their wisdom to seek solutions and combine the two to implement the found countermeasures.
The three E’s then – Empath, Environmentalist & Educator, I staunchly believe, hold the key to the world’s resurrection and emancipation. In an era where everything ‘E’ is the buzzword –be it IT or Climate, and an alleged Eco-Consciousness; we ought to put our money where our mouth is, and invest in a new order, a paradigm shift in leadership, and develop the courage to hand the reigns of the world to the most logical stewardship possible in the current circumstances – The 3 Es.
