Google is testing a new artificial intelligence that can write news
Google is testing a new artificial intelligence technology called “Genesis” that can produce news content.
The artificial intelligence technology developed to help journalists was presented to the executives of News Basket, which owns the main American newspapers “The New York Times”, “The Washington Post” and “The Wall Street Journal”, according to a text published by “The New York Times”.
The technology, which Google calls “Genesis,” is said to be able to curate news from any data, including current events, it’s given.
Google believes that this technology, designed to serve as a “personal assistant” for journalists, will save journalists time for more important news.
City University of New York professor Jeff Jarvis, noting that Google’s new technology has potential advantages and disadvantages, said that “if this technology can reliably present factual information, journalists should use it.”
Several organizations, including The Times, NPR radio and Insider, have announced plans to explore the potential of artificial intelligence “to see how it can be applied responsibly in a news world where seconds and accuracy matter most.”
