As artificial intelligence (AI) systems evolve from assistive to agentic capable of autonomous planning, decision-making, and content generation existing evaluation frameworks struggle to capture their broader organizational and ethical implications. Most assessments of newsroom AI focus narrowly on technical accuracy or efficiency, overlooking how such systems reshape trust, governance, and human collaboration.
