Without journalists, there is no journalism: the social dimension of generative artificial intelligence in the media

The article reviews two decades of empirical research on artificial intelligence in media, highlighting how AI will continuously reshape journalistic work. It identifies key social and epistemological challenges, such as increased reliance on tech platforms, threats to editorial independence, and journalists’ ambivalence between job security and creative liberation. The study argues that understanding AI’s impact on audiences and journalists is essential for guiding its responsible use in journalism.

Beyond "Made with AI": Visualizing Provenance Density to Mitigate the Transparency Penalty

The paper introduces Provenance Density, an interface that visualizes the density of verified claims within a text to counter the Fluency Trap—where users mistake fluent AI-generated hallucinations for truth. In a study with 81 participants, the interface significantly improved users’ ability to distinguish true from fabricated content, while no signal led to no discernment. A technical audit of 200 samples revealed that retrieval density alone is insufficient, and that the Consistency Veto provides most of the discriminative power for dynamic queries.

Conversational DNA: A Visual Language and Interactive Atlas of Human and AI Dialogue

Conversational DNA is a visual language and interactive atlas designed to explore human and AI dialogue by mapping speaker strands, communicative bases, and directed pairings. It visualizes speaker switching, response distance, and contribution length through adjustable helix geometry, and covers 151,489 episodes across eight corpora totaling 1.57 million source records. The system improves precision@5 on Molweni motif queries from 58.8% to 77.2% and demonstrates how annotation coverage affects perceived collection differences.
