How news organizations are using AI to advance their vital missions

OpenAI said Tuesday its technology is helping news organizations deepen original reporting, make content more accessible and build stronger businesses. The company said reporters, editors and business teams are using its tools to cover more ground, make archives searchable, reach audiences in new languages and turn complex information into faster decision-making. The Associated Press uses OpenAI technology to scan overnight news and podcasts, support image and video verification, and turn Supreme Court filings into searchable data. AP also applies the tools to surface stories in government datasets, recommend member content, build audience metrics reports and convert articles into broadcast scripts. Politico uses AI to analyze public documents for original reporting and to tailor client sales experiences. Axios has built custom GPTs for open records requests, caption optimization and style checking. The Philadelphia Inquirer developed Scribe to monitor public meetings and rank developments by newsworthiness. Axel Springer brands use the technology for audience features, fact-checking and newsletter production. Le Monde incorporated its translation style book into ChatGPT models to accelerate English-language publishing. The Daily Beast built Data Scouts agents that identify opportunities and recommend next steps in Slack. The American Journalism Project's Product and AI Studio helps local nonprofits adopt AI workflows.
