AI and the Future of News: Here Come the Robots

There is palpable anxiety among the news media about the rapid advance of artificial intelligence, and its impact on business. And yet, the industry ignores these emerging technologies at its peril. We call on the media to educate themselves on both the risks, and the opportunity – to use AI to empower journalism and meet evolving consumer needs.

“Here Come the Robots” synthesizes these insights and makes recommendations for how AI technologies can lead to the long-term success of news organizations, now and in the future.
