The Nikkei has launched a “Fully Automated Earnings Summary.” Artificial intelligence (AI) generates articles entirely automatically from financial results. True to the word “fully,” no human hand is involved at all.
It works remarkably well. In fact, it does not feel unnatural in the slightest. For an example, take a look at the Koito Manufacturing case1. A detailed explanation is available on this page2.
It would be good if developments like this reduced reporters’ workloads and led to more properly reported articles.
Still, late on this winter night, I found myself wondering what happens to the copyright in articles generated this way.
