NewsBot: AI for News Audiences

2 papers · 2024–2025Active

News organizations are deciding how to bring large language models into production, distribution and audience engagement. Before building a news chatbot, we asked how journalists and readers want to use one.

Journalists preferred a human in the loop, especially for subjective questions. Readers asked a chatbot more factual questions than they asked authors, and questioned journalistic integrity more often with authors. We also help build multilingual models for news analysis, such as LlamaLens.
