The New York Times is embracing generative AI, providing employees with tools to enhance headlines and article summaries. A suite of tools, including options from Google and Amazon, is available for tasks such as writing search engine headlines and creating social media content. Editorial guidelines promote the use of AI for clearer communication, but prohibit its use for drafting articles or manipulating copyrighted content. These changes stem from a pilot program aimed at integrating AI responsibly within journalistic practice.
"Generative AI can assist our journalists in uncovering the truth and helping more people understand the world," the newspaper's new editorial guidelines for AI read.
Despite those example use cases, the guidelines also warn employees not to employ generative AI in article writing or revision, or when inputting copyrighted material from outside sources.
