""We're not going to die if we don't build a chatbot tomorrow. We need to be really clear about what the threats are externally, but ultimately what we have is something that's worth protecting," said Chris Moran, head of editorial innovation at The Guardian."
""It's generating from a list of the most recent 200 articles on this tag what it thinks the three big storylines are across those articles. And it's really good technology for this. It's good at applying narrative to something and decoding it," said Moran."
""It's a curatorial tool, fundamentally. What it's designed to do is highlight the journalism and showcase the journalism," Moran said."
"To ensure the AI tool accurately highlights the journalism, The Guardian does not provide the large language model with the actual article text. Only the headlines."
The Guardian has opted against creating a reader-facing AI chatbot due to concerns about misrepresentation and trust. Instead, it has introduced Storylines, an AI-generated feature that curates related articles based on recent content. This tool highlights key narratives without using full article text, ensuring the integrity of the journalism is maintained. The AI-generated subtitles summarize the main storylines, serving as a curatorial tool to enhance reader engagement with the content.
