Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence tools in newsrooms is revolutionary and controversial as well. Despite the promising opportunities provided by AI to enhance digital journalism practice, it also raises several legal, professional, and ethical considerations. Research about AI in Arab media is a promising area of interest that increasingly attracts Arab scholars. However, there is a need for systematic and purposive growth in future research about AI and Arab media, that considers the socio-cultural and economic contexts of Arab countries and meets the priorities and needs of Arab media organizations. Accordingly, this paper provides researchers with an overview of the main challenges and debates in the field of AI and journalism studies. This study applies a systematic review of a sample of English and Arabic-written studies from 2014 to 2022 about the implications, challenges and considerations of using AI in newsrooms. Based on the analysis, the study proposed a future research agenda about AI and Arab journalism.
