Google is developing an artificial intelligence tool — code-named “Genesis” — that will be capable of writing news articles and crafting headlines, the company said Thursday.
The search giant has approached major news organizations — including News Corp, the parent company of the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal — to pitch them on the benefits of its AI tool.
However, Google stressed its robots would not replace ink-stained editors and digital journalists currently employed.
“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,” a spokesperson told The Post.
Journalists, however, were more skeptical.
