Inteligența artificială visează la jurnalism. Imparțialitatea algoritmilor în relatările despre o lume nouă (de la singularitatea lui Kurzweil la Deep Mind și Quill)
Artificial Intelligence Dreams of Journalism. The Impartiality of Algorithms in the Accounts about a New World (from the Singularity of Kurzweil to Deep Mind and Quill)

Summary/Abstract: Great minds have always imagined the future of humanity and have been daydreaming about tangible worlds made possible with the aid of innovation and technological progress. Dreams have turned, as the case may be, into pages of utopias about coexistence and cohabitation between man and machine, or of dark dystopia, marked by the lack of freedom and of individual fundamental rights. From Jules Verne’s imagined inventions which now are finding their place in history museums, to the testimonies of Marshall McLuhan, Isaac Asimov, or Arthur C. Clarke, the vast majority of the envisioned products have become as invisible in our daily lives as our kitchen sinks. Currently, technological advancement has polarized the greatest hopes and fears around artificial intelligence and super-brains: shall we become immortal through transplantation of biotechnological consciousness and digital grafts, or shall we find our fatal end, losing control of the space odyssey to the (literally, perhaps)hands of artificial intelligence? The media designs and redesigns new outlines for the automation crisis at a fast pace. Simultaneously with investments in computerized laboratories meant to create highly impartial journalistic materials, many journalists are increasingly concerned about their already problematic future. Whether the reports about this new world will be authored by human reporters, or by algorithms, it remains to be seen as time goes by. Vernor Vinge says, however, that there is not much time left.
