Google’s latest endeavor in the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI), aptly codenamed “Genesis”, is said to be an AI tool capable of generating news articles. The New York Times recently reported that Google has been conducting demonstrations of Genesis, not only for their journalists but also for executives at notable publications like The Washington Post and News Corp, the parent company of The Wall Street Journal.
A key aspect of Google Genesis is its ability to formulate content based on the data it ingests. Be it a world event, financial market data, or any other kind of information, Genesis has the potential to revolutionize the journalistic process. Google envisions Genesis as an assistant to journalists, automating certain tasks to afford them more time for in-depth reporting and analysis.
Uncertainty and Skepticism Around Genesis
Yet, not everyone is excited about the arrival of Google Genesis. Several witnesses of the tool’s demonstration have voiced their discomfort. To some, Genesis seems to undermine the nuanced work involved in crafting accurate and easily comprehensible news pieces.
