Robots became co-authors of British journalists

Newspapers in the UK began to publish materials written by people and programs. Such notes are popular on the Internet, but computer intelligence is not yet a substitute for biological intelligence. This is reported by The Financial Times.

At the end of November, on the initiative of the news agency Press Association and the startup Urbs Media, which supports Google, dozens of regional publications in the UK began to publish materials that are sponsored not only by people but also by machines. The main used assistant was RADAR - The Reporters and Data Robots. This software allows you to delegate the bulk of the routine work to prepare the material for the computer.

Developers of the system, funded by the Digital News Initiative, argue that the main goal was to promote cooperation between editions of publications and machines. While in the automatic mode, the news is not entirely written, but the program can produce individual paragraphs. As agreed with the leadership, they are inserted into the materials that are being prepared for publication.

RADAR has already become a co-author of a large number of articles, for example, about single mothers. According to the Financial Times, journalists from 35 British newspapers actually entered a new era of journalism: 20 of them started cooperation with cars, 15 more deliberate.
