Google is reportedly paying some news sites to use its AI for writing articles

Google insists its new AI tool won't steal journalists' jobs, though some people are worried.

Google has reportedly kicked off an experimental program that gives independent publishers access to a beta AI platform that churns out news articles. The trial is reportedly a component of the Google News Initiative (GNI), a program that's been around for a while, supporting media literacy projects and providing resources for newsrooms. A spokesperson from the company added that the AI tools are not meant to substitute for the crucial role that journalists play in "reporting, creating and fact-checking their articles."
