Abstract

This chapter aims to highlight the changes that journalism in Austria should expect. The authors analyse the data collected on Austrians' habits of consuming news through intelligent virtual assistants (IVAs). Furthermore, the importance and potential of the devices run by artificial intelligence (AI), such as IVAs and natural language generation software, are highlighted. The status quo and Austrian journalists' knowledge about IVAs and their predictions about the attitude of citizens towards those devices are outlined. AI in journalism industry is not only discussed as an assistant to ease the workflow of journalists in Austria; it is also represented as a potential threat which creates filter bubbles due to personalized news consumption through IVAs.
