It will not replace the responsibilities of journalists, but will serve as an auxiliary tool to improve work efficiency.
Google is reportedly working with some publishers to use new generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools to create news content. The partnership is part of the Google News Initiative and is worth tens of thousands of dollars. The tool helps publishers create syndicated content more efficiently and requires publishing at least three articles per day. The AI-generated text uses a color-coding system to indicate the trustworthiness of each section. Google said these AI tools do not replace the role of journalists, but are designed to assist journalists in their work.Google's move triggered widespread discussions in the industry about the role of AI in news production, and also demonstrated the role of technology giants in the digital transformation of the news industry. How AI-assisted news creation will develop in the future deserves continued attention.
