Knowing how AI frequently relies on having a large dataset to work from, and breaking news frequently not having any confirmed information, this seems ripe for abuse and errors. I would love to see details on their implementation and datasets. Especially because News Corp are known to take very political positions on topics.
This is the same News Corp. that convinced the Australian government that Facebook owes them money whenever anybody (including News Corp. itself) shares a link on Facebook to one of their articles, all with the justification that a link tax was needed in order to fund journalism.
