机器把人从体力劳动和枯燥工作中解放出来。但同时也引发了另一种担心:以机器人为代表的AI会不会完全取代人类,成为世界的主宰?就连作为无冕之王的记者,现在也面临被机器人记者(robo-journalist)抢走工作的风险。
Robo-journalists are algorithms in software that produce news reports based on provided data. The reports produced by robo-journalists can hit the Internet in several minutes after the news happens.
机器人记者(robo-journalists)指借助指定数据炮制新闻报道的算法软件。机器人记者所写的报道,在新闻事件发生后几分钟内就能在互联网发布。
For data-rich stories such as finance stories, sports stories and breaking news where dry facts need to be collated1 and sent out quickly, robo-journalists are becoming increasingly common. Many large media organizations - including the L.A. Times and Associated Press - have now turned to robots to take the grind out of formulaic dispatches.
机器人记者正在越来越多地应用于财经新闻、体育新闻和突发新闻范围。这类范围包括很多数据,需要校对事实干货并准时发布。包含《洛杉矶时报》和美联社在内的不少大型媒体机构已经开始用机器人来炮制公式化的新闻报道。
