About

Algooth Putranto is a forward-thinking Indonesian media scholar whose research critically examines the intersection of artificial intelligence and journalism, with a particular focus on the Global South. His most cited work, "Praktik Jurnalisme Robot Sebagai Akhir Profesi Jurnalis" (2022), investigates the rise of automated journalism—or "robot journalism"—and its implications for human reporters. In this study, Putranto analyzes how major Western media corporations and Indonesia’s pioneering news site Beritagar.id have adopted AI to generate news content, questioning whether this technological shift signals the end of human journalists. While his work has garnered initial citations, it represents an early and vital contribution to debates on AI ethics, labor displacement, and media sustainability in developing nations. Putranto’s research is notable for bridging science fiction-inspired anxieties with empirical case studies, making him a distinctive voice in discussions about the future of news production. His work challenges students and researchers to consider how emerging economies navigate the pressures of automation while preserving journalistic integrity and employment.
