Link: The Wall Street Journal is testing AI article summaries

The Wall Street Journal is currently testing AI-generated article summaries that top their news stories as "Key Points." This feature, first observed by The Verge, includes bullet points summarizing the main ideas of the articles.

The summarized content is generated by AI and verified by an editor, as noted within the "Key Points" box itself.

Also, there's a link explaining the utilization of AI tools by WSJ and Dow Jones Newswires.

Taneth Evans, the WSJ's head of digital, expressed the initiative aims to enhance storytelling and customer value through new technology.

He mentioned ongoing A/B testing to gauge user reception towards summarization and continuous engagement with both tech colleagues and readers.

Other news platforms and apps, like USA Today and Particle, are also exploring AI to create quick summaries.

However, while these summaries are convenient, it's advisable to read the full articles to avoid potential inaccuracies from AI tools. #
