Il Foglio says artificial intelligence used ‘for everything – the writing, the headlines, the quotes … even the irony’

An Italian newspaper has said it is the first in the world to publish an edition entirely produced by artificial intelligence.

The initiative by Il Foglio, a conservative liberal daily, is part of a month-long journalistic experiment aimed at showing the impact AI technology has “on our way of working and our days”, the newspaper’s founder, Giuliano Ferrara, said.
