‘Ask The Post AI’ Delivers Conversational Responses, Cites its Sources
When generative AI is discussed in relation to newsrooms, one typically thinks of the negatives, such as lawsuits or related issues with copyright, model training, or the threat of replacing reporters. However, some publications are embracing the technology, including The Washington Post, which launched its generative AI tool to optimize users’ content consumption.
Last week, The Washington Post debuted an experimental generative AI tool called “Ask The Post AI,” which allows users to get conversational answers on any topic referenced in text news articles published by the newspaper since 2016. The publication refers to the tools as an initiative “built by news for news.”
