Robot Reporter Gets Its First News Article Published

Date:

A robot journalist,  Xiao Nan made its debut in a chinese daily newspaper. The Robot wrote a 300 characters long article written in just a second, scientists say. It wrote about the Spring Festival travel rush.

Its author, Xiao Nan, is also able to write both short stories and longer reports, according to Wan Xiaojun, a professor at Peking University who leads the team studying and developing such robots.

“When compared with the staff reporters, Xiao Nan has a stronger data analysis capacity and is quicker at writing stories,” Xiaojun said.

“But it does not mean intelligent robots will soon be able to completely replace reporters,” Xiaojun was quoted as saying by ‘China Daily’.

At present, “robots are unable to conduct face-to-face interviews, cannot respond intuitively with follow-up questions and do not have the ability to select the news angle from an interview or conversation”, he said.

“But robots will be able to act as a supplement, helping newspapers and related media, as well as editors and reporters,” he said.
