Microsoft plans to leverage AI to build a “healthy information ecosystem” in time for the 2024 election.
February 5th heading Microsoft’s own site signals, “Here’s how we’re working with journalists to use AI to build the newsroom of the future.” That is the intended future. A fusion of Big Tech and Big Journalism, the hybrid offspring will soon be hitting a screen near you.
Microsoft highlighted new “partnerships” with various publications and nonprofit organizations, saying, “We are identifying procedures and policies to help these organizations use AI responsibly in reporting and business practices. “We’re helping people to understand and refine the way they do business,” he said, adding that the goal is “to identify ways” that AI can create efficient business practices and create sustainable news editorials for generations to come. Help build the room. ”

Translations for corporate epithets are: Microsoft; richest company in the worldis making its way into journalism, or more precisely journalism. work. For better or worse, journalism requires journalists who are living cost centers; work AI-wise, it can get away with anything it can get away with.
But AI journalism has not been successful, at least so far. Most obviously, reporters are aware that AI could send them into the same automatic shootout. bobbin turner and hod carrier. So when things get too flagrant, like recent incidents, they have blamed AI. sports illustrated. It was a victory for the magazine profession, but of course the publication went out of business soon after.

No doubt cost cutters and spreadsheet creators will continue slicing, and at the same time AI will continue to improve, even if it always has problems. uncanny valley.
Still, Microsoft is ahead of the curve, throwing out a slew of semi-cyborg-like bot words like “responsible,” “sustainable,” and “efficient.” Of course, it’s all a cloak for the awakened. This awakening is not surprising given that AI is being built in places like Seattle and San Francisco. (This problem from blue states will become endemic until red states figure out how to create their own AI.)
This announcement from Microsoft isn’t just about the news business in general. It’s also about “democratic elections around the world.” Microsoft February 5th Announcement make This is clearly evident:
Currently, Microsoft has started several collaborations with news organizations to deploy generative AI. In a year when billions of people around the world vote in democratic elections.journalism is essential to building a healthy information ecosystem, and our mission is to work with industry to ensure newsrooms innovate their services this year and into the future. [emphasis added]
How convenient for President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party that Microsoft is building this “healthy information ecosystem” in time for the 2024 election.
You can watch “Reportage” now. The economy is strong, our borders are safe, crime is down, electric cars are a great idea, diversity is our strength, trans women are women, and so on. Oh Joe Biden is great, thanks for asking.
Dear reader, do you agree with this statement? Probably not. But if it fills up TikTok with teens, it might sway enough votes in Georgia and Arizona. Oh, and by the way, the Microsoft AI that Democrats are aiming for will also ensure that: I swear to Gatesvoter fraud is a myth.

So that could be the future. News as a platform. The platform is controlled by AI and “implemented” by AI. At the same time, we will be informed by our digital overlords that Donald Trump is a menace to society, that the Republican Party hates women, and that climate change is an existential threat. Naturally, there are reports to the contrary, false information.
Ah, disinformation! How many crimes have been committed in your name! As Breitbart News readers know, the reports about Hunter Biden’s laptop and the negative effects of coronavirus lockdowns were true. However, these and other truths were covered up and suppressed as “disinformation.” At the time, big tech companies, including Twitter, happily participated in the crackdown. Anything to help the energetic and smart Joe Biden win the election!
But this new kind of political correctness has taken some hits since Biden took office. For example, by 2022, Soviet-style “disinformation control committees” will have been laughed out of existence. Perhaps most consequentially, Elon Musk bought his Twitter, changed its name to her counter-Disinformation machine.

Still, the “d” word lives on alongside its siblings. mistakeThe reason is simple. The left and Democrats don’t want dissent, and they have access to big money and leverage both big government and big progressivism.
On January 26th, journalist Li Fan, who is himself a leftist refugee, said:report About the efforts of Brian Murphy, a former FBI agent and former head of the Department of Homeland Security’s intelligence division. Murphy called for “a process by which law enforcement and intelligence agencies share information with news organizations, academia, researchers, bipartisan organizations, and private sector actors, including social media companies, to dismantle ‘misinformation’ campaigns. I proposed to formalize it” before they took hold. ” The entire left-handed equipment is now linked.
Plus, Murphy is working with an AI to further suppress, you guessed it, bad ideas. British AI company Logically also “maintains a public-facing editorial team that produces viral content and works with traditional news outlets.” Fang went on to say that Logically is “unmatched in the industry in aggressively deploying what it calls ‘countermeasures’ to challenge and remove problematic content from social media platforms.” He’s different from the players,” he added. Now, there are these words: countermeasure. The government is well-equipped to not only detect “disinformation” but also to eradicate it.
The Conservative Party, which has logically worked for the British government (which has been in power for the past 14 years, has functioned in much the same way as the Liberal Democrats in the United States), has finally It’s changing), and the Canadian government (everyone knows about woke leader Justin Trudeau). Here in the US, Logical has contracts with the state of Oregon, the city of Chicago, and the US Army Special Operations Command (that’s all we know about).
There is a vision. Big tech companies know who’s nice and who’s been nice. He is naughty and has both the carrot and the stick. The expected end result is a “clean” media environment judged by, say, Hillary Clinton and enforced by, say, singing censor Nina Jankowitz. of The truth and nothing but the truth!
This vision of news hygiene is 2004 movie Eternal Sunshine of the Immaculate Heart, the protagonists go to a technological service to erase unpleasant memories from their heads. This means that AI may be able to update: Eternal sunshine of spotless news.
Will this shiny, seamless vision and news sanity work? Will this technological totalitarianism succeed? One thing we’ve learned is that people are a bit stubborn and actually quite difficult to fool. All over the world, people are rejecting the most subtle and one-sided propaganda in favor of socialism and communism. You may remember a very frustrated Barack Obama in 2008. I lamented People are “clinging to guns and religion.” And at least a minority of the media will not comply. Breitbart News is one of them.
Therefore, there is good reason to hope that the American public, at least in sufficient numbers, will see through this latest push for “tekaganda.” But don’t think for a second that it won’t be a fight.
