How much current news reporting is actually re-reporting from reports found on Google? How many embellishments, adaptations and mistakes are made in that process?

Could we eventually reach a point in which AI benefits certain types of news reporting by cross-referencing different sources and reconciling contradictions?

In that scenario, AI might even serve as a kitemark for trustworthiness. If so, this could free up newsrooms to redeploy resources toward more valuable, first-hand, human-centred reporting.
