Why does it matter if an AI wrote the article, though? Does the nature of what's being reported change because of who or what is doing the reporting. You can still hold the organization accountable for any infactual or inaccurate statements. Having a human to hold accountable seems unnecessary and onerous.

The third thing relates to ethics; here the guidance is still in the making, but many have indeed stated that a journalist shouldn't put his or her name to a story generated by AI. https://pressgazette.co.uk/publishers/digital-journalism/ai-news-journalism-ethics/ https://pressgazette.co.uk/publishers/digital-journalism/ai-...
