Artificial Intelligence (AI) has entered newsrooms around the globe 
during the last decade. The era of sophisticated algorithms, machine 
learning tools, and full automation from early simple solutions began. 
AI tools play an important role on many levels of the process of making 
and distributing news. AI assists journalists in their work, whether it 
is the fully automated production of news stories or the partial use of 
machine learning. The integration of AI-based tools into the journalism 
process also places huge demands for journalists, technical staff, and 
lead editors. Will robotic reporters replace human journalists? What can 
be automated in the media? What are the implications of the ongoing 
trend to the automation process in the media? The conference 
“Transformation of Newsrooms with the Advent of Artificial Intelligence 
Journalism” is interested in sharing best practice, presenting case 
studies, good and not so good solutions, advantages and dangers, and 
risks connected with AI in everyday journalism practice. We encourage 
researchers and academics and media professionals, journalists, editors, 
IT, to share their experiences, the issues that these technologies are 
bringing to the media. We call for proposals addressing, but not 
limited, to the following themes:
Theme 1: AI in the Newsroom
