Today's topic is "Microsoft to Replace Journalists with AI" Microsoft is laying off dozens of journalists from its news services. In their place, it will use artificial intelligence (AI) to find and share news stories. The affected journalists have been told that they won't be needed after June 30. Some employees, who asked not to be named, told The Seattle Times that Microsoft plans to use AI for the work they had been doing. The journalists did not write their own articles, but instead chose stories from other news organizations to share on Microsoft's MSN website and Edge browser news pages. They also edited some articles and headlines. One of the journalists told The Guardian, "I spend all my time reading about how automation and AI is going to take all our jobs, and here I am — AI has taken my job." They added that replacing humans with AI has some risks. For example, staff were careful to make sure users were not shown violent or inappropriate content when they opened their browsers. This is especially important for younger users. The Guardian also wrote that having people choose news articles encourages the sharing of different opinions. It can also prevent the sharing of fake news, and help good articles from smaller news organizations get seen by more people. MSN offered its own content when it started in 1995, but now only shares news from other organizations, sharing ad money with the original publishers. 🍀SNS instagram:https://www.instagram.com/kidslovejapan/ twitter: https://twitter.com/KidsLove_Japan/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gmsi.jp/ WorldNews:https://anchor.fm/worldnews/ Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/kidslove-japan/ blog: http://masako-toybox.seesaa.net/ ✅SUBSCRIBE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHl6jliVGhN3z978Rh1L-AQ?sub_confirmation=1 #WorldNews #AudioNews
