Google is building an AI tool for journalists. The tool will help journalists better understand the world around them. Google is also developing a tool to help journalists more easily understand the news.

Google is developing an artificial intelligence tool for news publishers. The tool can generate article text and headlines, the company said. The tech giant said it is looking to partner with news outlets on the AI tool’s use in newsrooms. The project is not aimed at replacing journalists nor their “essential role” in reporting, creating, and fact-checking their articles, Google said. It comes as tech companies, including Google, race to develop and deploy a new crop of generative AI features into applications used in the workplace, with the promise of streamlining tasks and making employees more productive. But these tools, which are trained on information online, have also raised concerns because of their potential to get facts wrong or “hallucinate” responses. this year, CNET had to issue “substantial” corrections earlier this year after experimenting with using an AI tool to write stories. But both outlets have said they will still move forward with using the technology. The New York Times, which said the project is referred to internally as “Genesis” and has been pitched to The Times, The Washington Post and News Corp, which owns The Wall Street Journal, did not name those media companies but said the company is particularly focusing on “smaller publishers,” a Google spokesperson said. The company said the tool will be available in Google Docs and Gmail, like it is for people in Gmail and in Google Gmail. It added that the tool is not intended to replace journalists nor its essential role in reporting and creating articles. The new tool is expected to be available by the end of the year. The company did not give a release date for the tool, but said it would be available “in the coming months” for news outlets to use it in a variety of ways, including on their Web sites and mobile apps, such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. It did not say which media companies would be partnering with Google on the project, but did say it would not replace traditional media outlets such as ABC, CNN and Fox News, which use traditional news outlets for their reporting and TV and radio. It was not immediately clear if the tool would be made available in the U.S., but the company has said that it is in talks with several news outlets, including The Times and Gizmodo, which has said it will continue to use the tool in the future. The effort was first reported by The NY Times, and it was reported that Google is pitching the tool to those outlets as well as News Corp. and Washington Post, which says it has been pitching it to “small smaller publishers” The project has not yet been approved by Google, but Google says it is working with the media companies on the tool’s development and will be rolled out over the next few months, a company spokesperson said in a statement. It is not clear if Google will make the tool available to news outlets in the United States or in Europe, but the tech giant says it’s in discussions with media companies.
