The New York Times has Greenlit AI Product Tools and Editing staff

New York Times now allows its product and editorial teams to use AI tools that one day can write a social copy, SEO titles and code, SEMAFOR reports.

The news came to the staff via an email in which the publication announced the debut of its new internal AI summary instrument called Echo.

The New York Times also shared a set of AI products that staff can use to build web products or develop editorial ideas, along with editorial guidelines for using AI tools. The editorial staff of the newspaper is encouraged to use AI tools to offer editors, questions about brain attack interview and to help research. At the same time, the staff was warned not to use AI to prepare or significantly review an article or to introduce confidential information about the source.

These guidelines also suggest that times can use AI to apply digitally expressed articles and translations into other languages.

Semafor reports that The Times said it would approve AI programs such as GitHub Copilot Programming Assistant to encode, Google for Product Development, Notebooklm, some Amazon AI and Openai API products not Chatgpt via a business account.

AI’s New York Times’s embrace comes as it is still woven into trial against Openai and Microsoft for the alleged violation of the Copyright Act through the training of generative AI on the content of the publisher.
