Google is developing an artificial intelligence tool for news publishers that can generate article text and headlines, the company said, highlighting how the technology may soon transform the journalism industry. The tech giant said in a statement that it is looking to partner with news outlets on the AI tool’s use in newsrooms. But these tools, which are trained on information online, have also raised concerns because of their potential to get facts wrong or “hallucinate” responses. News outlet CNET had to issue “substantial” corrections earlier this year after experimenting with using an AI tool to write stories. And what was supposed to be a simple AI-written story on “Star Wars” published by Gizmodo earlier this month similarly required a correction.
