The Quartz Intelligence Newsroom is an initiative by Quartz, a business news outlet, to produce news articles using generative artificial intelligence. The project aims to automate the reporting process by aggregating information from various sources, including other AI-generated content, and presenting it in a concise format. Each article is accompanied by a disclaimer noting the experimental nature of the technology and acknowledging potential inaccuracies. The goal is to free up human journalists to focus on more in-depth reporting while providing timely updates on business trends and events.

Despite its innovative approach, the Quartz Intelligence Newsroom has faced criticism for the quality and accuracy of its articles. Some sources cited by the AI have been found to be unreliable or AI-generated themselves, leading to concerns about the integrity of the information presented. The project continues to evolve, with ongoing efforts to improve the accuracy and reliability of the AI-generated content.
