Abstract

The application of artificial intelligence in news communication has evolved from saving labor costs and improving efficiency to extending the perception range of professional journalists and strengthening their judgment ability. Innovative practical explorations have been carried out in news production, presentation, and distribution. However, the application of artificial intelligence has also brought ethical dilemmas of social bias diffusion to news media. In the face of this challenge, the news and communication academic community and industry have worked together to open up innovative paths in eliminating bias and maintaining social equity through technological "algorithm verification evolution" and social "human-machine coupling".
