The Power of AI in Journalism

Artificial Intelligence (AI), developed in the 1950s, is the technology that enables computer systems or robots to use logic similar to the human brain. AI is the science of creating intelligent machines that can make decisions and think like humans, as defined by its pioneer, John McCarthy.

AI is revolutionizing various industries, including journalism, by enabling computer-controlled robots or software to think and solve problems like humans. The study of AI involves exploring how the human brain thinks, learns, and works when solving problems, paving the way for more intelligent and efficient solutions.

As Sana continues to redefine the boundaries of journalism, the India Today Group remains committed to embracing cutting-edge technologies and delivering unparalleled news experiences to its audiences worldwide.
