将数据转换为叙述性新闻文本的算法过程允许新闻编辑室在有限甚至没有人为干预的情况下发布故事（Carlson，2015，p.416）。新趋势创造了许多机会，但也引发了重大的法律问题。除了经济效益之外，进一步的改进还可以使智能算法能够编写出不那么标准、甚至是观点的文章。负责人只需要定义明确的问题，即算法需要在文章中讨论什么以及以什么方式讨论。但它如何与传统的出版规则、编辑控制以及隐私和数据保护框架相一致呢？本文分析了雇用机器人记者的法律含义。更具体地说，将评估算法输出的作者问题以及当算法输出包含非法个人数据处理以及不准确、有害甚至非法内容时可能出现的责任问题。该分析是通过分析欧洲有关版权和数据保护的立法，并应用比利时有关新闻责任的立法作为一致的国家示例来支持某些法律考虑和结论。此外，本文还回答了出版商如何通过他们使用的算法来防止创建不准确内容的问题。
Algorithmic processes that convert data into narrative news texts allow news rooms to publish stories with limited to no human intervention (Carlson, 2015, p. 416). The new trend creates many opportunities, but also raises significant legal questions. Aside from financial benefits, further refinement could make the smart algorithms capable of writing less standard, maybe even opinion, pieces. The responsible human merely needs to define clear questions about what the algorithm needs to discuss in the article and in what manner. But how does it square with the traditional rules of publishing, editorial control and the privacy and data protection framework? This paper analyses the legal implications when employing robot journalists. More specifically, the question of authorship for algorithmic output and the liability issues that could arise when the algorithmic output includes unlawful personal data processing as well as inaccurate, harmful or even illegal content will be assessed. The analysis is performed analyzing European legislation on copyright and data protection and applying Belgian legislation on press liability as a consistent country example to support certain legal considerations and conclusions. Furthermore, the paper answers the question as to how publishers could prevent the creation of inaccurate content by the algorithms they use.
