Overview

Online experiment shows AI-assisted bylines impact news credibility, highlighting the need for transparency.

  • Human verification and task division improved trust in AI-generated content, supporting ethical media practices.
  • Participants with higher media literacy responded more positively to AI-assisted disclosures, emphasizing education's role.
