Artificial intelligence takes over the news industry and you and I will become slaves of the machine

Robotics> Robot Network News: In 2016, AlphaGo defeated Li Shishi, setting off a new wave of gold for artificial intelligence. This round of technological enthusiasm has made artificial intelligence not only have technical impact, but it has also significantly affected human economic and social operations. Of course, the whirlwind of AI has no doubt blown into the news industry.

Just as people's support for the large-scale use of AI has always been the same as the support of panic, people have also formed two attitudes towards the "future of AI + journalism":

One type of view is that AI will lead the journalism industry into a new era. Some of the points of view are optimistic that for the press industry, the strong joining of artificial intelligence is undoubtedly a milestone development. It can free journalists and editors to help them complete trivial tasks and allow them more time to deal with more advanced work.

"Automation trends are critical to the future development of the journalism industry."

Bloomberg Chief Editor John Micklethwait

"The news automation is the best thing that happens to journalists for a long time."

New York magazine writer Kevin Roose

However, there is another pessimistic view that cannot be ignored: when AI can one day completely replace reporters, does it only help reporters?
