The result to aim for

Ouest-France automatically tracks or summarizes articles for journalists; David Dieudonné, IA project manager, said that he was moving from an experiment in 2024 to industrialization, while preserving editorial heritage, including through a joint laboratory with CNRS in Rennes.

What was done

Influencia, 20 January 2025. Apart from France Culture, the article quotes Ouest-France to "tag or summarize articles automatically". David Dieudonné, in charge of the AI project of the group: experimentation in 2024, will to industrialize solutions for the editorial, "special and historical vigilance on the preservation of editorial heritage". For archives (millions of articles, photos, videos), CNRS partnership and University of Rennes, ANR support, joint laboratory Synapses — presented as a research to raise locks, not as the tool already in production on daily tagging. The sheet contains only the tagging/summary of articles already described in this document.
