Associated Press: Future of Journalism Will Be Augmented Thanks to AI

It hasn't been an easy couple of years for algorithms. Increasingly populated with content decried as'fake news', 'clickbait', today's highly personalized social media feeds are coming under increasing fire for being filter bubbles, culminating in Mark Zuckerberg's highly public apology to Facebook's users at the start of this month. These shifts in media mirror concurrent developments in spheres as diverse as customer service and support, financial trading, healthcare, and more. Today, though, tech is fighting back – thanks to AI. After partnering with Automated Insights in 2014 – a natural language generation start-up – the Associated Press became one of the earliest adopters of AI within the media space.
