Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing the journalism industry, according to Brijesh Singh, Principal Secretary of Maharashtra. Speaking at a workshop titled 'Women, Media and Technology,' Singh emphasized that female journalists should view AI as a chance to enhance their tech skills and drive significant change in the sector.

Singh elaborated on AI's potential benefits, noting that it can streamline tasks like data collection and content delivery, ultimately freeing up journalists to focus on more in-depth analytical reporting. However, he cautioned that AI must be used responsibly to ensure accuracy and maintain context in reporting.
