Recognizing that publishing is no longer just a matter of creating and distributing content — news, features, editorials, graphs, stock tables, and photos — NYTimes.com is giving front-line editorial staff a slew of new AI-powered editorial tools and processes, reports Semafor.
One of these tools allows staff to create quizzes with the help of AI, a service like what Quizlab provides.
Other AI tools now available to NYT staff will aid in the creation of:
- social copy
- quote cards
- FAQs
- summarization of Times articles, briefings, and interactives
Other tools for broader NYT staff include:
- GitHub Copilot programming assistant for coding
- Google’s Vertex AI for product development
- NotebookLM
- the NYT’s ChatExplorer
- some Amazon AI products
- OpenAI’s non-ChatGPT API
“The paper encouraged editorial staff to use these AI tools to generate SEO headlines, summaries, and audience promos; suggest edits; brainstorm questions and ideas and ask questions about reporters’ own documents; engage in research; and analyze the Times’ own documents and images,” according to Semafor.
