"“To be clear on AI: All writing and visuals that freelancers submit to The Times must be the product of human creativity and craft, and all submissions must consist solely of their original reporting, writing and other work,” reads the email, reviewed by Futurism. “Freelance contributors must not submit any material for publication that contains content generated, modified or enhanced by [generative AI] tools, or that has been input into these tools.”"
"The email pointed its contributors to a detailed document on its “policy on freelancers' use of generative AI tools,” which forbids the inclusion of AI-generated or AI-modified text and images in any reporting contributed to the paper. While AI tools are acceptable for “high-level” brainstorming, the notice warns, freelancers “may not use [generative AI] tools to help you write any part of a story.”"
"“Using [generative AI] tools to create, draft, guide, clean up, edit, improve, or rephrase your writing is strictly prohibited,” it continues. As for what specific tools the company's actually speaking to, the document forbids “chatbots like Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT and Perplexity; AI-powered search products like Google AI Overviews; and image generators like Adobe Firefly, DALL-E and MidJourney.”"
Freelancers receive a reminder of an AI policy requiring that all submitted writing and visuals be produced through human creativity and craft. Submissions must consist solely of original reporting, writing, and other work. Freelancers are prohibited from submitting material containing content generated, modified, or enhanced by generative AI tools, including text and images. Generative AI may be used only for high-level brainstorming, but it cannot be used to write any part of a story. Using generative AI to create, draft, guide, clean up, edit, improve, or rephrase writing is strictly prohibited. The policy names specific tools such as Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and image generators like Adobe Firefly, DALL-E, and MidJourney.
