2019-02-15 | Elon Musk's AI writes fake news story after being given a few words | Stuff.co.nz

'OpenAI is aware of the concerns around fake news, said Jack Clark, the organisations policy director. '

'OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research group co-founded by billionaire Elon Musk, has demonstrated a piece of software that can produce authentic-looking fake news articles after being given just a few pieces of information. '

'In an example published Thursday by OpenAI, the system was given some sample text: "A train carriage containing controlled nuclear materials was stolen in Cincinnati today. '

'From this, the software was able to generate a convincing seven-paragraph news story, including quotes from government officials, with the only caveat being that it was entirely untrue. '

'Facebook has taken out a national newspaper advertising campaign in Britain to warn the public about the risk of fake news ahead of the election. '
