Google says it's developing AI news tool to help journalists write headlines and stories, but experts warn news organisations could be tempted by its capabilities and replace human journalists
Citing anonymous sources, the report said the tool – known internally as Genesis – was in an early testing stage, but impressive enough to be found"unsettling" by some of the news executives that saw its capabilities.
The tool would function as a sort of co-pilot for reporters and editors by providing options for headlines or different writing styles, the company said. The Google project follows news of a tie-up between OpenAI and The Associated Press, in which the ChatGPT creator was given a license to use the archives of AP going back to 1985 to train AI.
The emergence of ChatGPT last year caused great alarm in the news industry, with the app's ability to write convincingly and in seconds on complex topics from a simple prompt.The rapidly evolving technology is already raising concerns about whether it can be trusted to provide accurate reports, and whether it would eventually lead to human journalists losing their jobs in an industry that is already suffering financially.
But there's a likelihood that the technology will progress faster than a new business model can be discovered that supports local news — creating the temptation to replace human journalists with AI tools, she said.
