SEOUL, October 20 (Yonhap) - South Korea's leading news wire service, Yonhap News Agency, announced plans to launch an AI assistant service called "Yonhap LM" to aid in news reporting, data analysis, and fact-checking. The AI function is part of the company's proprietary E-GENE platform, which was developed for news production support beginning last year.
Users can collaborate on reporting by sharing data and verifying facts, while also analyzing press conferences and interviews through integration with the speech-to-text service on E-GENE. The AI agent was developed to enhance the precision, pace, and depth of news production. A beta version of the service will be made available to Yonhap's journalists and editors in the near future.
Hwang Dae-il, Yonhap's CEO, stated that the company aims to be a trusted source of journalism by delivering timely, accurate, and in-depth content, emphasizing the use of AI as a tool to innovate news reporting and production in an era of rampant misinformation.
