Exploring the future of technology and society
Futurism is a platform that reports on the intersection of technology and society, focusing on the implications of emerging technologies. Recently, it has highlighted the trend of AI-generated content in journalism, specifically noting that CNET has been utilizing automation technology to produce financial explainer articles. These articles, published under the byline 'CNET Money Staff,' are generated using AI and are subsequently edited and fact-checked by human editors. While the use of AI in content creation is not new, the platform emphasizes the importance of transparency in authorship and the potential impact of AI-generated articles on search engine optimization and content quality. Futurism invites insights from current or former CNET employees regarding this initiative, reflecting its commitment to exploring the evolving landscape of AI in media.
