Artificial Intelligence has revolutionised activities across various industries. Due to automation, studies have shown its ability to take over and monoplolise tasks previously handled by humans, fueling panic of displacement and job losses. The field of journalism is not an exception. Aspects of the field involving repetitive tasks, data analysis and content production where speed and efficiency are essential are shown to be under serious threats in this regard. This study therefore seeks to establish whether the displacement ability of AI is likely to dominate the future of Nigerian journalism or whether it can be used to complement the traditional skills of journalists to make the industry more efficient. Anchored on media ecology and technological determinism theories, and using qualitative approach, primary data were gathered through indepth interview of journalists drawn diverse media outlets in Kogi state. Through thematic analysis of data, findings show that job security of the Nigerian journalists in the age of AI will depend on how journalists and news organisations adapt to these technological changes. It specifically indicates that journalists who develop skills in areas where human judgement and creativity are essential, such as investigative and interpretative reporting, storytelling, and analysis, etc, are likely to remain valuable in the evolving media landscape. With such skills, collaboration between journalists and AI tools can lead to new opportunities for innovation and efficiency in journalism.
