The use of artificial intelligence tools in newsrooms is revolutionary and controversial as well. Despite the promising opportunities provided by AI to enhance digital journalism practice, it also raises several legal, professional, and ethical considerations. Research about AI in Arab media is a promising area of interest that increasingly attracts scholars. However, there is a need for systematic and purposeful growth in future research about AI and media that considers the sociocultural and economic contexts of countries and meets the priorities and needs of media organizations. Accordingly, this paper provides researchers with an overview of the main challenges and debates in the field of AI and journalism studies. This study applies a systematic review of a sample of English-written studies from 2014 to 2022 about the implications, challenges, and considerations of using AI in newsrooms. Based on the analysis, the study proposed a future research agenda about AI and journalism.
