Google is reportedly testing an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can generate news articles.
The tool, codenamed “Genesis,” is still in development, but it has already been demonstrated to a small group of journalists from The New York Times, The Washington Post, and News Corp.
Genesis can generate articles on a variety of topics, including current events, business, and entertainment. It does this by first gathering information from a variety of sources, such as newswires, social media, and public data. It then uses this information to create a “story skeleton,” which is a basic outline of the article. Finally, Genesis uses its AI capabilities to fill in the details of the story, such as the headline, lead paragraph, and body text.
The journalists who have seen Genesis in action have been impressed with its ability to generate accurate and informative articles. However, they have also raised concerns about the potential for bias and misinformation.
