  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Future of Organizations and Work After the 4th Industrial Revolution

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 1037))

Abstract

The study aims to identify the techniques of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, in many new technologies produced by that revolution, which will form artificial intelligence journalism. The dependence of some media on a “robot” in newsrooms or media institutions, which represents open data journalism, big data journalism, blockchain journalism, cloud journalism, and other tools that constitute the era of artificial intelligence journalism. The results also revealed that the provision of big data for press and media content seems astonishing, if the right moment comes to expand it, the press of artificial intelligence based on big data can provide contents that are difficult for human effort to come up with the same effort, time and cost.
