New Washington Post AI tool sifts massive data sets
Haystacker Allows Journalists to Sift Through Large Data Sets to Find Newsworthy Trends or Patterns
The Washington Post on Sunday published its first-ever story built on the work of a new AI tool called Haystacker that allows journalists to sift through large data sets — video, photo or text — to find newsworthy trends or patterns.
Why it matters: In an interview, the Post’s chief technology officer Vineet Khosla said the company is committed to building many AI tools in-house because they can address the specific needs of trained journalists.
“It’s a far superior product than just the general purpose stuff you get from Big Tech,” he said.
