Il Foglio's AI experiment, launched on March 18, 2025, has been deemed a success, leading to weekly AI-generated content across various formats, including articles, podcasts, and newsletters. Editor Claudio Cerasa highlighted that while AI can enhance production, it cannot replace the essential roles of human journalists in reporting and sourcing. This initiative reflects a broader trend in the media industry, where AI integration is becoming crucial for survival amid economic pressures and declining traditional traffic sources.
