Recommendations: Towards Balanced AI Reporting
To counter the current trend of fear-inducing AI headlines, the study offers several recommendations. First, it calls for the development of an AI news ontology that distinguishes between AI as a science and AI applications. This could help journalists and media outlets provide more accurate and contextually rich coverage of AI topics.

Second, the study suggests that media outlets collaborate with AI experts to produce more informed and balanced reporting. This collaboration could involve regular fact-checking and expert commentary to ensure that AI-related news is not only sensational but also informative and grounded in reality.

Finally, the study emphasizes the importance of public education on AI. By improving the general population's understanding of AI and its implications, it becomes easier to foster a more informed and rational public discourse about AI, reducing the impact of fear-inducing headlines.
