Beijing, Jan 11: China’s Xinhua news agency is building a new kind of newsroom by integrating
Artificial Intelligence into to every step of news production — lead generation, aggregation, editing and distribution.
Cai Mingzhao, president of the state-run agency, made the announcement at a work conference that maps out Xinhua’s key tasks for 2018 on Tuesday and said the project is expected to greatly improve efficiency.
On December 26, Xinhua officially released the “Media Brain”, a first-of-its-kind platform in China that brings cloud computing, the Internet of Things, Big Data and AI technology into news production.
Cai said Xinhua will explore how the “Media Brain” can fit into the daily workings of modern journalism.
Proposed applications for the “Media Brain” include every stage of news production, from finding leads, to news gathering, editing, distribution and finally feedback analysis.
