Description

In Episode 2, Season 2 of the Eurovision News Podcast, host Giles Gibson examines the relationship between AI companies and the news industry.


He visits the BBC's headquarters in London to dig into cutting-edge research on the growing use of AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Perplexity for news related questions. Experts warn these assistants are "still not a reliable way to access and consume news."


We find out how AI companies "scrape" news content from publishers online and learn about the "Facts In : Facts Out" campaign backed by the European Broadcasting Union and WAN-IFRA.
