Deputy editor replaced by robot » Banking Technology

Banking Technology's deputy editor, Antony Peyton, has been replaced by an artificial intelligence (AI) powered robot – paving the way for scintillating journalism free from acidic remarks and unfettered bouts of sarcasm. With the relentless rise of AI and robots, it was only a matter of time before a journalist would be thrown on the scrap heap – rather like a glossy brochure received at a fintech conference. Tanya Andreasyan, Banking Technology's editor, says: "Tony has been here for just over a year and in that time has been here. I suppose I could add something fake and congratulatory but I'm not a politician, so won't. "I've tolerated his presence for long enough and it's now time for him to retire gracefully.
