In a little-noticed story in July of 2017, it was revealed that a Google grant of €706,000 was given to the United Kingdom’s Press Association to use artificial intelligence to write news articles.

As reported by the Guardian, RADAR will “…auto-generate graphics, video and pictures to add to stories.”
