Google News to get Artificial Intelligence Upgrade

Earlier this month, Google's Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai unveiled the new and improved Google News. According to Pichai, the app could now show "the news you care about from trusted sources while still giving you a full range of perspectives on events." The company is reportedly working on integrating artificial intelligence in its news app in an effort to eliminate disinformation and help people get more viewpoints that are beyond their so-called "filter bubble." The new initiative was said to be part of Google's goal to be at the center of online news. This also includes new efforts to help advertisers and publishers gain paid subscribers using the tech company's platform. Google's product chief Trystan Upstill also added that the Google News would make use of the "best artificial intelligence to find the best of human intelligence," which, according to Google, is the reporting done by local and international journalists.
