A brief history of news chat robots

In 2016, it was hailed as the "year of the robot program." During the year, the chatbots ushered in an explosion: Skype, Line, and Facebook Messenger all introduced chatbots; social platform robots were open to the media, and the BBC, the New York Times, Forbes, and the Guardian fragmented. The way of dialogue is to present information to the audience. The news industry seems to realize that people are no longer willing to download more apps from mobile phones, and the new battlefield has shifted to applications that are already installed and used frequently.

In this issue, the all-media faction will share with you a brief history of the development of robotics in the context of press and publication, and experience the revolution brought about by the robot program.

The originator of the news robots: Twitter Bot

First of all, what is a robot program? Compared to robots, "robots" is an online concept without physical entities. It is actually a kind of Computer script.

Twitter Bot is one of the earliest applications of robot programs in the news industry. With the advent of the Twitter Bot, the three special functions of the news industry—reminding, aggregating and supervising have been automated. The reporting level has also been greatly improved over the era of purely manual editing and editing.

Relatively speaking, the principle of the reminder function is relatively simple. In fact, the information on the Twitter and Facebook homepages of many media organizations is updated by the robot program: whenever new news reports appear on the RSS feeds, the robot program will be automatically updated on the social media account.

Twitter Bot's news aggregating approach is diverse. First, it can aggregate news RSS feeds. For example, the @North_GA news machine program can aggregate multiple news RSS feeds from northern Georgia. Second, the syndication function also includes automatically forwarding information on Twitter that matches a particular search, such as updates to specific tags, keywords, or news that matches specific search terms on Google News.

The oversight function usually involves keeping track of what the public figures or organizations say. For example, @stopandfrisk on Twitter can obtain real-time data on the police's inventory and send tweets from the New York Civil Liberties Union. Facebook's Keir Starmer in Parliament page specifically tracks the new moves of the politician in the parliament.

Surveillance also sometimes includes a critical value feature. For example, when a page of Wikipedia and Twitter shows an abnormal editing frequency (which may mean there is a major news event), @wikilivemon will monitor the editing behavior that occurred. There are also Twitter Bots who will be prompted to update the IP address associated with the government's public agency.
