The Associated Press takes a stand against journalists using AI for writing articles. The company won't replace journalists with AI, but it's not shying away from monetizing AI training on its content. AP's VP of standards outlines cautious AI experimentation for staff in generating content.
The AP's AI-generated articles are used for specific areas like corporate earnings and local sports. The company embraces AI tools for summarizing stories and analyzing social media feeds. However, AI-generated images will not alter visual or auditory content unless the story is about AI creation.
Interestingly, AP partners with OpenAI to train language models on its content, highlighting a unique approach. This contrasts with some newsrooms like NYT forbidding AI training on their articles. The AI landscape in journalism continues to evolve, offering potential and challenges alike.
