Google developing AI tools to help journalists report the news

Al Jazeera

Google is developing artificial intelligence-enabled tools to help journalists research and write news articles, a development that is likely to rattle nerves across the media industry after years of painful job cuts. Google is working with media outlets, particularly with small publishers, to provide AI-powered tools to assist journalists with "options for headlines or different writing styles", the California-based tech giant said on Thursday. "Our goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies in a way that enhances their work and productivity, just like we're making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs," Google spokeswoman Jenn Crider said in a statement, which described the company's "earliest stages of exploring ideas". "Quite simply, these tools are not intended to, and cannot, replace the essential role journalists have in reporting, creating, and fact-checking their articles." The global media industry has been decimated by successive rounds of layoffs amid a collapse in print advertising revenues, with US newsrooms alone shedding a record 17,436 jobs in the first five months of 2023.

The outlet's Twitter account published the video. Additionally, Fedha will reportedly use a typical Kuwaiti accent to provide news updates on the website's social media accounts. A new revolution has begun in the media industry!


A.I. Is Now Doing the Menial Journalism Jobs I Used to Do

Slate

In February, BuzzFeed's leadership announced that the company's storied quiz operation was pivoting to A.I. OpenAI's generative language tool ChatGPT has proven to be effective at regurgitating hackneyed cultural motifs back at its users, which makes it perfect for the platitudinal terrain of BuzzFeed quizzes. The company has gone all-in on the new revolution by adopting a text synthesis program modeled on ChatGPT's technology, tiling the website with uncanny questionnaires--all scented with the trademark unspecificity of machine learning--and published under the byline "Buzzy the Robot." Buzzy is listed on the masthead as an A.I. Creative Assistant, and I suspect that he's not a member of the union. "What If You Were A Disney Princess? This Quiz Will Answer That Question," reads one of the characteristically mangled headlines written by Buzzy.

My last blog discussed AI innovations in the health care sector, and this one will share a few perspectives of new developments in this industry. According to Business Wire, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) spend in media and entertainment industry in the United States forecast period (2019-2025) is expected to grow at a CAGR record of 28.1%, increasing from US$ 329 million in 2019 to reach US$ 1,860.9 million by 2025. Some of the top application areas used in this sector are: gaming, fake story detection, plagiarism detection, personalization, production planning and management, sales and marketing and talent identification. One of the areas which is very exciting is understanding how AI is being used in news. AI is making major impacts in aggregating massive data analysis of the conversations across the world-wide web and classifying into themes to appreciate topics trending globally or even identify increasing risks of terrorism or even health risks, like a pandemic.

Artificial Intelligence & Intellectual Property – Driving growth for Media Tech & IT

#artificialintelligence

Between fiddling our fingers on the tiny buttons of our TV remote and scrolling through endless menus to find something worth watching and talking to a smart assistant via your remote or your smart TV to find a movie based on your interests, which one of them sounds more absurd? The concept of machine-human intelligence coined during the mid-twentieth century and increasingly popular in the sci-fi movies during the early days, has long become a reality and is unfolding more and more potential areas of its application with each passing day. Instead of having incertitude regarding the notion of pursuing AI, most of the companies are now asking themselves the question of how should they pursue AI as they try to unlock the hidden potentials it can provide, and the creative and informatics industries are no exception to the trend. The highly packed and ambitious media industry is always on the hunt for new ways to compete with the firms adopting newer technologies to stay in pace with rising technological transformation. Leading this rapid transformation are the horses of efficient workflow support, content distribution management and revenue growth support.


Alibaba on what technology is driving the AI trend

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the debate du jour. Will it prove to be a smart investment or an overhyped flop? Does it really have the power to benefit businesses, or will end up doing more harm than good? Some of the world's heavyweight thinkers – from Tim Berners Lee to Stephen Hawking – have weighed in on both sides of the debate, cautioning that while we should be optimistic, we must not let the technology run rampant. For businesses, AI has taken on an almost mythical status; frequently touted as a panacea to many current IT challenges.


IBC Best Conference Paper Award Recognises Advances in Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In a year when artificial intelligence and machine learning became a very hot topic in the media industry, the IBC Best Conference Paper Award goes to a team from BBC R&D which has investigated practical applications. The award is made to the technical paper which, according to the team of peer reviewers, delivers not just the most significant new research, but does so in an accessible way. The paper, 'AI in production: video analysis and machine learning for expanded live events coverage', will be presented at midday on Sunday 16 September as part of a new initiative at IBC2018 – 'Tech Talks'. 'Tech Talks' ensures that the highly respected technical papers remain an integral part of IBC and its conference, bringing the latest ideas to all delegates in a fresh and accessible form. Talking of the new innovation, Dr Nick Lodge, executive producer of technical sessions in the conference, said "Senior technologists and researchers who have been responsible for original and thought-provoking advances in media technology will talk about their own work, and audiences will have the rare opportunity to question these world experts. "The technologies that impact the media industry are broad," he added. "This year's'Tech Talks' will cover emerging areas like artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, 5G and blockchain." In the award-winning paper a team of BBC researchers covering a wide range of skills, under project lead Mike Evans, discuss a project known as'Ed'. This prototype system is used to create near-live content with minimal crew. An example might be a set of three unmanned 4K cameras, from which'Ed' would produce a number of properly framed HD pictures, cutting between them as appropriate. "The point of the work is to allow coverage of more events, to reach places we otherwise could not reach," Mike Evans said. "With conventional production we cover only about six of the nearly 100 places music is performed at the Glastonbury Festival, for example, or just a tiny fraction of the 50,000 performances in 300 venues at the Edinburgh Fringe." "But with'Ed' we can reach many more of these and do so with production techniques which are much less intrusive for the event itself," he explained. "This technology will be suitable not just for major production companies like the BBC, but for a whole range of use cases, like minor sports which need to increase visibility, and even vloggers who want to improve their online presence." Dr Paul Entwistle, Chair of the IBC Technical Papers Committee which provides careful peer review of the many papers proposed for IBC, said "The detail in this paper is absolutely fascinating.
