AI in News Radio Broadcasting

Since the public began using Chat GPT in 2022, there has been a controversy about whether artificial intelligence (AI) technology would replace people in various occupations. This concern extends to the global radio broadcasting industry. Many radio professionals argue that AI will not reduce the importance of human roles. However, some are beginning to adopt AI technologies in their operations. This dual perspective highlights the ongoing discussion about the balance between human contribution and technological advancement in the workplace. This article explores the adaptation of AI technology in three news radio stations in Jakarta. It focuses on how these stations use AI, the guidelines they follow, and the types of AI currently in use or planned for future implementation. The study employs a descriptive qualitative research method, gathering data through interviews with editors of the stations, as well as through observation and literature review. This research indicates that informants view AI technology as essential for enhancing broadcast radio media management. The integration of AI happens gradually, with ongoing observation and research into its various forms and advancements. Radio stations are cautious in this adaptation process, as they must uphold journalistic standards.
