Artificial Intelligence or artificial intelligence (AI) is a field in the field of computer science (Computer Science). It is the intelligence created by humans with the goal of helping computers automate smart behaviors like humans.
According to analysis by British media company Journo Resources, artificial intelligence and press robots have appeared in newsrooms around the world for some time. From Forbes to the Washington Post, BBC to the LA Times, most major newspapers today rely on AI to report.
AI has made significant progress in automatic text analysis. This is an extremely important function in the era of publishing content on the Internet when we are immersed in countless articles from many different authors.
Automatic text analysis can help the press monitor and detect copyright violations on third-party news platforms, thereby helping to reduce the editing workload of news agencies. In addition to screening for false content, AI also helps control user comments. Mechanical systems are proving to be cautious assistants, which can check the content of text and images to ensure that only standard content appears. In addition, AI has helped readers find content that suits their personal interests. In addition to the task of synthesizing information, some media outlets have included AI systems from start to finish in the work of producing articles.
Forbes is a famous name that has applied AI technology to its activities. The newspaper has deployed an AI-powered content management system called Bertie to propose content and headlines. It is an AI-powered newscasting platform, designed specifically for the publishing office's internal operations, including journalists, a network of professional collaborators and partners. Bertie provides them with popular topics, suggestions for more engaging titles, and related images, thereby automatically summarizing them into an article or supporting documents.
The Washington Post has also introduced Heliograf - an AI technology for automatic news production to report on local events. Heliograf can create complete reports from the collected data. As a result, The Washington Post can report on any regionally contested games that they have data and fans can watch at the time of the games.
Bloomberg also uses an AI solution called Cyborg. The system could help reporters make thousands of articles based on companies quarterly income reports. Cyborg can operate a financial report as soon as it appears and immediately return it to a news story that includes the most appropriate events and figures.
According to China's Social Science Today website, experts say that robots cannot replace reporters and editors in the short term. AI is applied in the press industry not for the purpose of taking over journalism, but simply to free up human resources to make people do more valuable jobs. Currently, robot reporters mainly report on sports events, financial reports, emergency incidents and other stories that are oriented towards data according to the formulation. Such news is often simple and considered a low-level product of the press.
Therefore, if the data source is not authentic and fair, they can be completely deceived. According to estimates from global management consulting firm McKinsey, AI technology proficiency can currently only automate about 15% of reporters' jobs and 9% of editors' jobs.
