Watch 'AI 2022: Making News'

AI-driven technology is increasingly present in newsrooms. Real time data shows what audiences are reading, and algorithms know which news stories are likely to be of interest based on what else you’ve read. Production processes are being automated and studio backdrops are virtual.
