About 60% of Reuters newsroom uses AI

About 60% of Reuters’ newsroom is using artificial intelligence, reports Sara Guaglione of Digiday.

Guaglione reports, “About 60% of Reuters’ newsroom is using AI, according to Lang. The most ‘proficient’ AI users – which make up about 50 to 100 people, out of Reuters’ 2,500 journalists – are using AI to ‘vibe code’ and help with investigative journalism.

“‘We’re at 60% and it’s rising every month. It’s probably 5% every month at the moment. We’ve been told to get to 100% by the end of the year. I think we’ll get close to 80, touch wood,’ Lang said.

“The biggest hurdle to getting there is not every newsroom staffer feels like they need to use AI technology, he noted.

“‘I was talking to a photographer the other day, [who asked] how can I use AI? And I said, why don’t you just use it to help you find a parking space when you turn up to a strange city? Just simple things like that. There are ways to use AI that aren’t necessarily journalistic,’ Lang said.”
