Google Tests New AI Tool for Generating News Stories
American tech giant Google is testing a new tool that uses artificial intelligence to generate news stories.
Informed sources say the tool, known as Genesis, is able to produce comprehensive press stories after receiving the necessary information, according to The New York Times.
Google introduced its new product to American media, including the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The Washington Post.
One of three people familiar with the new tool also said that Google believes the tool can serve as a personal assistant for journalists and help the publishing industry move away from generative AI.
Some executives who read Google’s presentation described it as “disturbing” and two people said the process of creating accurate and original news seemed real.
This new tool comes at a time when news organizations around the world are debating whether or not to use AI tools in their newsrooms.
