New York Times use the ECHO tool to produce news coe
Employees are said to have received new instructions on how to use ECHO and other artificial ielligence tools. According to these guidelines, reporters can use these tools to propose text editing and modify texts, generating news summaries, writing advertising texts for social networks, and creating optimal titles for search engines.
There are also some restrictions, and reporters are not allowed to use artificial ielligence to write or change articles, bypass payme barriers, use copyright coe, or publish artificial ielligence images and videos without labeling.
It is still unclear how much the New York Times will use artificial ielligence edited texts in its articles. In a note last year, the New York Times articles would always write and edit expert reporters, and a few mohs later confirmed the commitme.
The guidelines for using artificial ielligence in the New York Times approved May 2024 were as follows:
“Productive artificial ielligence can help us in parts of the work process, but manageme and monitoring will always be the responsibility of reporters. We are always responsible for our reports, no matter how they are produced. Any use of artificial ielligence must begin with the information that reporters have approved. In the next step, the editors must review them. “
In addition to the ECO, the New York Times has apparely confirmed the use of other tools, including Github Copilot for programming, Google Vertex AI for product developme, Google Notebooklm, dedicated Times, and some Amazon artificial ielligence products.
These new tools and educational guidelines have been preseed when the New York Times is still involved in lawsuits with Openai and Microsoft. The newspaper claims that ChatGpt has used its coe to teach without permission. Many other media are also experimeing with artificial ielligence.
