What if the article you were reading was written by Genesis? This is the name of a new tool developed by Google. It is supposed to use artificial intelligence to help journalists write their stories and has been introduced to several big names in the press in the United States, the internet giant announced this Thursday, July 20th. A move that sparks even more fear of upheaval in the technology trade.
“Personal Assistant” 2.0?
“We are in the process of exploring ideas that could potentially provide AI tools to help journalists do their jobs,” said a Google spokesperson, confirming the information published in The newspaper “New York Times. An indication to be part of the media involved, as well as washington post Where wall Street Journal, An American daily newspaper reported that the tool appears to be capable of gathering information, such as news coverage, for subsequent journalistic content creation. But for the digital giant, this is not the goal. Faced with the revelations, Google says it’s out of the question to replace the entire editorial. He specifies that his instruments “not intended to replace the important role that journalists play in collecting and verifying information and writing articles”, also ensuring that they have no potential.

In fact, the idea behind Genesis was more about creating a kind of“personal assistant” According to evidence collected The newspaper “New York Times, “by automating certain tasks to free up time for others.” A digital company envisions the creation of writing assistance features, for example, which are typical for journalists, such as suggesting different headlines or changing the writing style. However, according to The newspaper “New York Timessome media executives have described the Google project as “alarming” inside.
It must be said that the phenomenal success of generative AI, that is, the ability to produce all kinds of text or images on a simple request in everyday language, is of great concern, and not only among journalists. According to the latest report from the World Economic Forum, at least 26 million jobs could be lost by 2027 with the advent of this technology. But beyond the simple fear of being replaced by software, many professionals mostly blame the companies that created these tools for using their content without consent or remuneration for their computer programs. Among them are journalists, as well as photographers, writers, musicians and even Hollywood actors who are currently on strike to draw attention to this phenomenon.
