Why the Fuss About Driverless Cars? We Already Have Robot Politicians

When will politics and political journalism be farmed out to robots? If you watched last night’s election debate and its aftermath without the protection of a hazmat suit, you might be asking: how soon could it be?

Quite soon, it seems. A current New Yorker article points out that the Associated Press will now reply on “automation technology” to cover some college sports – technology that “can analyze the data from a game of anything from badminton to basketball and then use it to write a coherent and familiar-looking recap”. It takes a split second to produce, needless to say, and will soon incorporate post-game quotes from players and quasi-idiosyncratic sportswriter-type prose.

Plenty of news output is already computer-generated: the software that will cover sport in this way has been providing most of AP’s corporate-results stories since last year, when the robot was predicted to churn out a billion news stories – and it probably didn’t once stick a massive bar bill on expenses.
