AI at Reuters: 'Be skeptical and verify' - THE BARON

AI at Reuters: 'Be skeptical and verify' - THE BARON | Journalism & Ethics | Scoop.it

The news agency Reuters, which employs around 2,500 journalists and 600 photojournalists in about 200 locations worldwide, set out a framework for using artificial intelligence to support its journalism with "rigorous oversight by newsroom editors" and adopted a mantra: Be skeptical and verify.

CDJM's insight:

By defining a framework for the use of new text-generating technologies, Reuters certainly does not go to war against them, but rather seeks to see how to optimize them and control their production for the benefit of its customers, while maintaining and strengthening the bond of trust.
