Artificial intelligence and the future of journalism

At the Think About! conference staged in Warsaw by Ringier Axel Springer, the eastern Europe joint venture of Ringier and Axel Springer, I talked about the changes that AI, artificial intelligence, will bring to the profession of journalism in the future. You can already find AI in a huge amount of online products, for example in thematic pages that are almost completely automatically generated. The articles appear in a narrow thematic context, such as political or cultural content, but the possibilities here are almost endless. And with personalized content from online content providers, such as Axel Springer's news platform for Samsung smartphones, UPDAY, an algorithm learns from the user which issues and format he or she prefers, and constantly improves the personal selection of this content.
