Three AI agents called Jayden, Sam and Zack are pitching editors with reported stories and investigative features, Wired reports. The detail that matters: they are trying to enter journalism’s commissioning process, not just help write copy.
Why it mattersThat is a small but telling test of what an AI agent can do in a newsroom. A pitch is not a reported story, though, and editors still have to decide whether there is anything worth pursuing.
Discuss: Should newsrooms consider pitches from AI agents on the same terms as pitches from human freelancers, or require a person to take responsibility for every idea?
