Will Oremus, tech reporter at The Washington Post, recently wrote about The Plain Dealer, a newspaper in Cleveland that’s using AI to help automate some daily duties. Oremus says it could be a good thing if the tool is used to perfect human writing — not just to save on labor cost.
The Plain Dealer newspaper in Cleveland, Ohio, has been around since the 1800s. Now, it's leaning into a very 21st century tactic: embracing the use of artificial intelligence in its journalism. That includes AI actually writing articles.
The paper's editor, Chris Quinn, says incorporating artificial intelligence is critical to its success. Will Oremus, a tech reporter at The Washington Post, says lots of publications are experimenting with AI. But The Plain Dealer has taken it further than most.
