World’s first AI-powered news forecast

February 2024 News

NewsGPT.ai is making AI history, again. Shortly after launching the first 24/7 AI-generated news channel, the innovations team at NewsGPT.ai has unveiled an even more audacious offering: the world’s first news forecast. Not unlike weather forecasting, which debuted in 1961, NewsGPT.ai believes in the power of predictive science. By combining deep learning with applied mathematics the team is pioneering a radical attempt to deliver ‘tomorrow’s news today’.

The maiden forecast, which aired in December, reported the results of the Sunday football games yet to be played. NewsGPT CEO, Alan Levy said: “The results are less important than the methodology, our present focus isn’t accuracy. It’s about exploring the fascinating merger of deep learning AI and the world of news forecasting.”

The visionary approach adopted by NewsGPT.ai aims at refining and adapting the AI model with each iteration, using learning from its predictions to enhance subsequent outputs. Over time, the company’s team, which includes MIT mathematicians and Cambridge machine learning experts, aspires to forecast a myriad topics including sports outcomes, market dynamics, Oscar winners and even election results.

Looking back at the early days of weather predictions, where scepticism was high, NewsGPT draws on inspiration and optimism. As weather forecasts evolved from being labelled as mere hocus pocus to becoming vital decision-making tools, NewsGPT envisions a similar trajectory for its avant-garde news forecast venture. With AI’s monumental capabilities, bolstered by surging computational prowess and rich data reservoirs, the promise of tomorrow’s news today is not just a catchphrase, it’s a vision of the future.

The endgame? “As far-fetched as it sounds our ultimate goal will be to present our viewers with a fairly accurate news forecast of tomorrow’s news,” Levy says.
