San Francisco Chronicle editor: "Artificial intelligence is going to be cheaper than what we journalists charge"
Emilio García-Ruiz, editor-in-chief of the San Francisco Chronicle, said artificial intelligence "is going to be at a much lower price than what we have to charge" and flagged as the main risk that AI companies take their content and build a better experience for readers. He compared it to music moving to digital, when "good enough" prevailed. He also said journalists must be "influencers" on their beats and that in an ideal world 80% of the newsroom would work in digital and 20% in print.
