Introduction. The revolution driven by artificial intelligence continues: a journey through the media landscape

Abstract

The second part of this special issue aims to continue to contribute to the debate on the impact, possibilities and challenges that artificial intelligence is bringing to the mass media, media groups and audiences. This new issue draws together five constructive academic articles that address the innovations in this steadily expanding field from different theoretical and methodological perspectives. Specifically, it provides an overview of the integration of automated tools in film editing, explores the regulatory frameworks and policies related to deepfakes in five American states, reflects on the ethics of artificial intelligence, examines how these tools have transformed production routines in the publishing industry and investigates artificial intelligence-generated television presenters in southern Asia. We invite our readers, whether academics or professionals, to join us on this journey of discovery, challenges and, ultimately, opportunity.
