However, the use of AI requires caution and a deep understanding of humanistic and ethical issues. Although AI is intelligent, it still has many disadvantages, one of the biggest weaknesses is that AI does not always provide accurate information.
Le Quoc Minh also made suggestions on the use of AI for press agencies in the future, such as building ethical standards or standards for the use of AI, because there are contents provided by AI that cannot be verified for accuracy, causing negative impacts on society on a large scale.
There needs to be coordination of AI projects and training on AI skills, to help journalists and press agencies provide reliable content, meet readers’ needs, and avoid duplication and dependence on AI.
