AI is growing rapidly around the world and has already changed many aspects of our societies. Journalism and mass communication educators are faced with the task of learning about the technology, while immediately applying it to their teaching.

What are the ramifications of AI's expansion for mass communication and journalism education? This book centers the voices of diverse educators, who share their concerns and hopes, as well as the insights that they have gained from their use of this technology, and advises educators how to enhance the implementation of AI in their own teaching and approach the technology more critically.

A timely contribution to a dynamically evolving area, this book is essential reading for teachers, academic developers, institutional leaders, industry members, and other stakeholders who are concerned about the formation of the journalists, editors, advertising specialists, public relations professionals and other communication practitioners of the future.
