Il Foglio, an Italian newspaper, conducted a month-long trial using AI to produce a four-page daily insert, which significantly boosted sales. Editor Claudio Cerasa plans to introduce a weekly AI-written section and utilize AI for articles in specialized areas. Cerasa believes AI won't replace journalists but will create new roles and push for higher-quality, more original reporting.
He noted AI's surprising aptitude for irony and book reviews but highlighted its lack of critical thinking and occasional factual errors. Cerasa emphasizes that AI should augment journalism, not diminish it, by enabling reporters to be more creative and insightful.
