Quartz has launched an experimental AI newsroom that aggregates reporting from various media outlets to create short articles. They began with simple earnings reports and expanded to approximately 400-word articles. Although meant to relieve editorial staff for more in-depth reporting, the approach raises concerns about quality, as the AI-generated articles lack direct quotations and detailed attribution. A spokesperson for Quartz confirmed its experimental nature but refrained from disclosing the AI tools used. Previous articles sourced have reportedly been improperly summarized, resulting in inaccuracy.
Each of Quartz's AI-generated articles is roughly 400 words in length, and includes no full quotes from sources.
A spokesperson for Quartz corporate parent G/O Media confirmed to TechCrunch the existence of a 'purely experimental' AI newsroom.
