News Corp Australia is producing 3,000 articles a week using generative artificial intelligence.
Executive chair Michael Miller told the World News Media Congress in Taipei that a team of four staff use the technology to generate thousands of local stories each week on weather, fuel prices and traffic conditions, according to a report in Mediaweek.
The unit, Data Local, is led by News Corp’s data journalism editor Peter Judd, and supplements the copy written by reporters for the company’s 75 “hyperlocal” mastheads across the country including in Penrith, Lismore, Fairfield, Bundaberg and Cairns.
Most newsrooms in Australia are examining how they can use AI.
