In this descriptive study, the researcher used questionnaires and in-depth interviews on a sample of fifty journalists and editors from across the Egyptian journalistic institutions. "the study sample" besides conducting electronic interviews for a sample of journalistic leaders.
The results of the study reached the formulation of future scenarios for journalism in light of artificial intelligence techniques during the next decade (2021-2030), which are the optimistic scenario, the reference scenario, and the pessimistic scenario, and that the motives for using artificial intelligence journalism in newspapers in the future face the decline of newspaper readers, raising work efficiency. A journalist for journalists, trying to increase the profits of press institutions, achieving an advanced ranking between newspapers and competing media outlets.
