Antonia Eichenauer on radio3 discussing what AI can and is allowed to do in journalism
Is it surprising to someone who researches AI in journalism that readers can’t say for sure whether a text was written by a human or an AI? No, not really. Antonia Eichenauer from the P5 project “Journalism: Automating the News and Journalistic Autonomy” answered these and other questions on July 13, 2026, on the morning show of radio3, the rbb’s cultural station. Interestingly, host Katja Weber brought up a topic that the project frequently encounters in its field research: journalists’ concern that adopting AI might render them obsolete.
The conversation was prompted by an experiment conducted by the nonprofit media organization Correctiv: In its newsletter, readers were asked to guess which text variant was written by AI and which by editor-in-chief Annette Dowideit, and to rate which one they preferred.
