>I await robot news that is a bulleted list of facts.
Interesting that you mention this, I'm not convinced that this will be a silver bullet. A couple of concerns that come to mind:
1. Something must bridge the robot to the physical world. The selection of which facts to include and exclude in this data source can create bias.
2. From the data source, the robot then would make its own decision about to to present facts, presumably performing some filtration of its own. Such a robot can have bias [0].
To be clear, I definitely agree that robojournalism could be an improvement. But we can't forget how it works and how it could be manipulated.
