Bloomberg is integrating artificial intelligence into its journalism, but the endeavor has elicited mixed results, necessitating over three dozen corrections to AI-generated article summaries this year alone. One notable incident involved a misinterpretation of President Trump's announcement on auto tariffs. Other news organizations, like Gannett and The Washington Post, are also experimenting with AI tools. Bloomberg asserts that while challenges arise, a significant majority of their AI summaries—99 percent—adhere to their editorial standards, showcasing their commitment to quality amidst technological experimentation.
Earlier this month, The Los Angeles Times removed its A.I. tool from an opinion article after the technology described the Ku Klux Klan as something other than a racist organization.
Bloomberg News said in a statement that it publishes thousands of articles each day, and currently 99 percent of A.I. summaries meet our editorial standards.
