Google is testing an AI-powered feature called News Briefs on Google TV in the US, offering narrated summaries of top news stories and related YouTube videos from trusted sources. The AI technology raises concerns about accuracy and trustworthiness, as demonstrated by past AI mishaps in news summaries. The potential for bias and spreading misinformation through AI-generated news recommendations is alarming, especially considering the existing issues with content recommendations on platforms like YouTube. As individuals already face a constant barrage of distressing news through various media, the idea of AI-driven news being forced upon viewers without their request is worrying. Google TV users are apprehensive about receiving more negative news content and hope that this experimental feature will not contribute to the overwhelming stream of negative information in today’s world.
