Yes, part of the work in newsrooms may be substituted by AI like Google's effort, see the story. But hello, AI cannot generate relevant news in very small towns, like in Hanko, where I have myself piloted hyperlocal news media. Why am I saying no job for AI ? - Just because not that much happens over here! There simply are no news 'seeds' available for AI to read in digital form. Here is the point: news stories need to be generated, by digging in, interviewing various people, authorities, enterprices, event organisers, even taxi drivers who do know what is topical in our 'village'. Summary: human touch is needed in hyperlocal news! A call for innovation still left: business model? https://lnkd.in/eEvXENxi

This just goes to show how far we've come with our increasing interests in exploring how beneficial artificial intelligence could become for those in publishing. Whether they are organizations or independent individuals, right now seems to be an excellent time to test out the negatives and positives of such emerging technology - because who knows where it could take us? Advertising technology seems to be an industry that is repeatedly taking on new uncertainties, along with frustrations - for example, look at third-party cookies. There are so many ups and downs here. Organizations have been scrambling, only to come to 2024 with a sense of relief as they realize that cookies aren't exactly going away at the moment like they had initially thought. #GenerativeAI #AI #Technology #Publishing #AdTech

Back in 2018, I wrote a Gulf News OPED titled: 'How Big Tech Gets An Acquired Taste for Old Media'. With the acquisition of prestigious publications like Time magazine by Salesforce's Marc Benioff and the Washington Post by Amazon's Jeff Bezos, tech moguls had a few good reasons to invest in authoritative traditional publishing houses, including vanity and influence. Fast-forward to today and we could add commercial success and competitive edge into the list. And the latest reason of big tech investment into traditional media is #ArtificialIntelligence, because there is no #AI without credible and verified information-which is only available in the archives of credible and authoritative media outlets such as the #FinancialTimes. Read my OPED in the Business Analysis section of #GulfNews to get more details.

As companies consider combining the latest in AI with their newsroom, there's an important thing to consider. "Particle will offer a personalized news experience. But to ensure people don’t get stuck in their own “filter bubbles” — that is, reading only those stories that match their existing worldview — Particle will take a different approach to the unit of content. In Particle, that unit is not an individual news article, but the story as a whole, as told by multiple outlets. This allows readers to see a multi-perspective view of a story and then easily click through to the various sources of the reporting. This model also cuts down on duplication, so readers won’t be seeing stories that are essentially the same as one another." A lot of times, a key in journalism is to get various viewpoints and sources for a story so that consumers are able to comprehend the full story. This will require weeding out garbage news sources that many people use daily, but it will help journalists and consumers in the long run. #AI #Journalism #Particle #TechCrunch #EthicalAI #AIJournalism #Tech #News
