'AI Snake Oil' author says chatbots may become a 'truth oracle'
Original: 'AI Snake Oil' author sees chatbots evolving into a 'truth oracle'—and journalism heading somewhere it hasn't been in 200 years
Arvind Narayanan, co-author of 'AI Snake Oil', argues chatbots are evolving into a 'truth oracle' that people turn to for verified answers. He says this could push journalism into territory it has not occupied in roughly 200 years, as newsrooms rethink their role when readers get information directly from AI systems rather than traditional outlets.
Why now: Predictions about AI reshaping how people get news are fueling debate about the future of journalism.
