AI improves publishing

In 2017, artificial intelligence will slowly but surely make its presence known, both within newsrooms and to readers. In newsrooms, bots will start to produce more stories where structured data is readily available -- think game recaps, weather run downs, and overviews of how the stock market performed. This will free up resources and reduce costs. Robots will analyze complex editorial content of all lengths, and provide feedback to the humans sitting behind the keyboard. Much like how Netflix used data to help fine-tune House of Cards, news organizations will have the opportunity to adjust editorial narratives to make stories more engaging.
