How much do you currently know about AI's role in how Canadian news is gathered and delivered to you?

I hadn't really thought about it until now. I've heard about it, but I'm not sure exactly how it works. I understand that algorithms personalize my news feed, but I want to know more. I actively follow how AI is transforming journalism and understand the key implications.

Which concern about AI in news reporting worries you the most?

I'm not sure what the concerns even are. I know there are risks, but I haven't thought deeply about them. I'm concerned about algorithmic bias and misinformation, and I want to understand solutions. I understand the full scope of risks—from bias to accountability gaps—and I'm actively evaluating them.

When you read news online, how do you typically evaluate whether the information is trustworthy?

I trust it if it comes from a major news outlet—I don't think much beyond that. I check the source and try to verify claims, but I'm not always systematic about it. I actively cross-reference sources and consider how algorithms might have influenced what I see. I have a structured approach to evaluating news, including understanding AI's role in story selection and personalization.
