Introducing The Future Press: AI-Generated Metro News
The world of journalism is constantly evolving, and with the advent of new technologies, the way news is produced and consumed is rapidly changing. The Future Press, a groundbreaking project funded by the Dallas Morning News Innovation Endowment and affiliated with the University of Texas at Austin School of Journalism, is at the forefront of this evolution.
The project aims to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and journalism, seeking to understand the capabilities and limitations of AI in the journalism industry. With the help of chatbots like ChatGPT, Bing AI and Google Bard, The Future Press is able to produce articles and report on the Austin area.
Led by journalism students Gracie Warhurst and Sophia Kurz and overseen by Professors Robert Quigley and Christian McDonald, The Future Press is an AI-generated news site that uses chatbots to create local news and human journalists to edit and deliver it to readers.
We are currently working on building out the site and fine-tuning the workflow to deliver the best and most accurate AI-produced news. The Future Press is a unique and exciting project that has the potential to revolutionize the way we produce news. Stay tuned for more updates and findings from the project.
