To assemble data and stories applicable to our readers, AJC editors and reporters for a considerable length of time have invested time and vitality seeing huge arrangements of data, especially data on a document with state and local governments. We’ve composed many stories dependent on what we’ve gained from the data.
The best example is real estate data, which is gathered by all county governments. Counties track records of housing sales, which can help get values, trends and other significant information about nearly everybody’s most valuable asset – their home. We think understanding this sort of information offers essential assistance to our readers.
Nonetheless, in a spot, the size and complexity nature of metro Atlanta, such a large number of transactions are documented every month that it is difficult for people to keep up. In this way, we have chosen to utilize unique software that gathers and analyzes home sales information at a rate and volume that is past what AJC can do with editors and journalists alone. AJC Bot audits county sales records and naturally creates draft articles customized to ZIP codes all over metro Atlanta. You soon might see it reporting on other sources of information as well.
This methodology is utilized by a developing number of news associations in the U.S. furthermore, Europe.
This isn’t substituting people – it’s adding to what our columnists can do. Artificial intelligence is incredible at separating a tremendous amount of information, yet we despise everything need people to signify the math.
