Providing guidelines for future journalists on the topic of AI as a societal and, therefore, journalistic issue implies facing a major and complex work in progress. Even though AI-related technologies have existed for a while, it is not until now that many of the futuristic ideas of previous centuries are beginning to take shape. When it comes to collecting advice and best practices for covering the topic in journalism, there are open questions and insecurities at stake that need to be taken into consideration.This handbook aims to develop educators’ and learners’ theoretical understanding by connecting this discussion to journalistic values as well as figuring out appropriate journalistic methods and practices, in addition to raising ethical concerns of public interest, which are also relevant for journalists. There are seven areas of focus: technology, visions and development, policy, infrastructure, everyday practices, misuses, reporting practices, and journalism.
