Microsoft Plans To Bring AI Chatbot Into News Production, But As A Research Tool Only
The initiative seeks to amalgamate the expertise of human journalists with the capabilities of AI technology. While human reporters will retain editorial control, the AI chatbot will function as a research tool, expediting the process of drafting news articles by generating summaries and initial drafts.
“Semafor envisions Signals as a platform that streamlines the dissemination of breaking news by organising information and presenting diverse viewpoints,” stated a representative of the startup.
Through a meticulous curation process, journalists will distil essential facts from a plethora of sources, including those offering differing perspectives on the same subject matter.
To bolster journalistic efforts, AI tools will facilitate the exploration of news sources across various languages and regions, broadening the scope of coverage and ensuring the inclusion of diverse viewpoints. Following the AI-assisted research phase, editors will meticulously evaluate sources, compose concise summaries, and provide transparent citations to original information.
