BEIJING -- Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the news industry. The technology is good enough to write stories all by itself or personalize newsletters and send them to subscribers. But these examples tell only part of the story.

Chinese startup Xinhua Zhiyun fuses AI technology and media. Founded in 2017 by state-run Xinhua News Agency and e-commerce giant Alibaba Group, Xinhua Zhiyun has rolled out a potpourri of AI-based products and solutions to automate various aspects of news gathering, reporting and posting.
