Nå kan chatbotene ta eksamen i norsk
Nå kan vi endelig måle hvor treffsikre språkmodeller er på både bokmål og nynorsk – et viktig skritt mot helnorske KI-løsninger.

TV2 was one of the first big news rooms to try out a chatbot imitating a real live moderator: A moderator you can directly interact with on your phone. With him, TV2 wanted to make news about politics in the US more accessible, but still fact based. Did they succeed?
