Google is working on a new generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool designed to write news articles, New York Times reports<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The tech giant reportedly demonstrated the tool \u2014 dubbed Genesis \u2014 to News Corp executives. News Corp owns the New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n

Genesis is designed as a “responsible” technology that produces factual news articles.<\/p>\n

However, two News Corp execs said it seemed to take the effort that went into producing accurate news stories for granted.<\/p>\n

A third said they saw it as more of a personal assistant than a news writer.<\/p>\n

Google spokesperson Jenn Crider told The Verge<\/a><\/strong> that its goal is to give journalists access to these new technologies to improve their work and productivity.<\/p>\n

“In partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we’re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,” said Crider.<\/p>\n

“For instance, AI-enabled tools could assist journalists with options for headlines or different writing styles.”<\/p>\n

However, she emphasised that the tools aren’t designed to, and can’t, replace the “essential role journalists have in reporting, creating, and fact-checking” articles.<\/p>\n

There is no indication of when Google will make Genesis available to journalists.<\/p>\n
