Artificial Intelligence Journalists replace reporters

In a new move, well -known Quartz online media has officially announced that it uses artificial intelligence to produce news and articles.

The famous media has added a new section, “Artificial Intelligence News”, to its work units. In this section, short, data -based articles collected from various sources are produced and published with the help of artificial intelligence tools.

Quartz has introduced these changes as a new way to increase productivity and focus more on more accurate and research reports. This transformation reflects the serious entry of artificial intelligence technologies into the media and journalism industry. The technology that raises the question in the mind of whether one day human journalists will gradually be filled with “artificial intelligence journalists”.

Quartz, one of the greatest players in the field of online news and publications, has recently announced that it will use artificial intelligence to write news, and now, content written using automated tools in its owned publications. They are view.

It is noteworthy that Quartz had begun writing short and simple news by artificial intelligence several months ago; But it has not been published by artificial intelligence articles. It looks now that short articles have been added to the company’s automatic writing capabilities since last week. Of course, in writing the articles, news written by reporters of other news agencies, such as CNN and MSN, is not fully compatible with artificial intelligence.

According to the magazine, each article produced with artificial intelligence is about 5 words long and does not include direct quotes from the sources used. In fact, the content of the resources is actually written in the body of the article and is very similar to the output presented by real journalists. The contents written in this way are recognizable by AI Newsroom as a writer.

A spokesman for G/O Media, who owns Quartz, said the capability is currently in the experimental mode and is not aimed at removing journalists from the publications. Quartz apparently intends to use artificial intelligence to create more free time for its troops so that they can work on deep content and longer articles. All articles written by artificial intelligence are also reviewed by real journalists before being published. However, it seems that the quality of the reviews is not very accurate and there are problems with the material published with automatic tools.

Will artificial intelligence be a reliable alternative to journalists?

Critics have claimed that the use of artificial intelligence in publications to produce content is only done by the policy of increasing profits by companies and can lead to reduced content quality. Quartz Company has been accused of using artificial intelligence to expel its employees to reduce human resources; But its owners claim that the firings were due to the sale of several publications to other partners.
