Comprehensive computer algorithms can write news articles for the British media in the coming months.

"It would not be a substitute for our great reporters. Artificial intelligence is just a complement to the lack of a reporter team when it needs to quickly update market information, results. elections and the evolution of football matches, " Clifton told a conference of the editorial board in Carlisle, England on Oct. 18.

However, Mr. Clifton said, PA will not rush to apply automation to the article.

In the field of journalism, many developing countries such as the US and Europe have begun experimenting with newspaper robots with simple content and even complex analytical substitutes for their children. people.

One of the pioneers in using automated technology is Associated Press (AP) , one of the largest news agencies in the world. AP has been using this new technology since July 2014, and produces about 5,000 news articles quarterly.

In Asia, in September 2015, China's Tencent Technology Group shocked the world by posting an economic article written by robots. The robot, called the Dreamwriter , was designed by a Tencent company, which completed the Chinese-language paper in just one minute.
