AI Position of the Job
AI Impact on this job
You remain lightly exposed to AI in the practice of your profession. Artificial intelligence can take on repetitive or information-processing tasks, but speaking, editorial judgment and the relationship with the audience remain fundamentally human. These tools mainly serve to speed up preparation and enrich sources.
Your profession remains lightly exposed to AI, which automates some technical tasks while editorial decision-making remains human.
