Imagining a newsroom powered by artificial intelligence

The News and information ecosystem is in the midst of change -- again. Mobile-first consumption is on the rise, smart homes are becoming mainstream and connected cars will soon take over the roads of major cities around the world. Smart devices will require "smart content." It's only a matter of time before artificial intelligence (AI) becomes the backbone of the media industry of the future. Today, most people find information via search or social. And while these two channels are radically different in functionality, they have one thing in common -- any given article surfaced through these platforms is exactly the same for everyone in the world.
