“Skilled human journalists will still be vital in the process, but RADAR allows us to harness artificial intelligence to scale up to a volume of local stories that would be impossible to provide manually.” Google has given Google a € 706,000 grant to develop artificial intelligence software to write 30,000 local news stories a month . The project, called Reporters and Data and Robots (Radar), is being run in conjunction with the UK Press Association . Five journalists will work in concert with natural language processing software to turn government and local authority databases into locally specific stories about health, crime, jobs and other subjects. The grant is part of Google 's € 150 m three-year Digital News Initiative . Other grant recipients include Google (launched by Wikipedia), the UK Press Association English and Dennis Publishing .
