The Wall Street Journal is experimenting with AI-generated article summaries that appear at the top of its news stories. The summaries appear as a Key Points box with bullets summarizing the piece. The Verge spotted the test on a story about Trumps plans for the Department of Education, and the Journal confirmed its trialing the feature to see how readers respond.The Key Points box has a message explaining that an artificial intelligence tool created this summary and that the summary was checked by an editor. The box also points to a page about how the WSJ and Dow Jones Newswires use AI tools. The AI-generated Key Points from this WSJ article. Screenshot by Jay Peters / The VergeWe are always assessing new technologies and methods of storytelling to provide more value to our subscribers, Taneth Evans, head of digital at the WSJ, says in a statement to The Verge. To that end, we are currently running a series of A/B tests to understand our users needs with regards to summarization. The newsroom does this hand-in-hand with colleagues in technology and while speaking with readers at every step of the way. We also disclose how we leverage artificial intelligence tools to support our journalism whenever its used.AI summaries have been spreading across news sites and platforms. USA Today owner Gannett has also experimented with adding AI-generated summaries to its articles its even using a similar Key Points format. Apps like Particle summarize articles using AI, too. Personally, Id recommend reading full articles when you can in case the AI tool hallucinates something thats incorrect.
