Robots 1 Journalists 0: News agency reveals it has begun using ROBOTS to cover Premier League football matches (and they file a story within two seconds of the whistle blowing)

A robot journalist is reporting on English Premier League football matches in a development that will terrify human sports reporters.

South Korea's Yonhap News Agency says it has started using a computer to write match reports, following a period of intensive development.

The Soccerbot program has been created to copy the writing style of human sports reporters.

The agency says it tested the software during the 2016-2017 season.
