N2 - This study aimed to determine the extent to which Jordanian journalists in digital newspapers are aware about artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in journalistic practices and to identify the most important applications, difficulties, and motives for employing AI from the perspectives of 59 journalists in Jordanian digital newspapers. An online questionnaire was used. The results were as follows: the weak reality of employing AI techniques in journalistic practices; few journalists know about the technologies sufficiently; and the most used systems in journalistic practices are photo and video verification techniques, followed by breaking news tracking techniques. The findings revealed that economic factors and the absence of technological infrastructure in press institutions are among the most important factors affecting the adoption of AI techniques in Jordanian digital newspapers. This study had some limitations that should be addressed in future studies.
