Summary
In an op-ed in Le Monde, members of the Syndicat national des journalistes condemn the press group EBRA's plan to replace copy editors with artificial intelligence. These journalists, who are responsible for checking articles, would be replaced as part of a task automation drive by the group. The signatories consider that this choice runs counter to the mission of newspapers, to the detriment of the quality of information and of the reader.
