Did you know News Startup Rolls Out AI Editorial Tool That Uses Microsoft Bing And ChatGPT To Generate Multi-Source News Feed
Popular news site Semafor has just rolled out a powerful AI-based editorial tool dubbed Signals.
The
tool is said to make use of AI-based research, attaining help from
Microsoft’s Bing and ChatGPT. What users get in the end is a news feed
from various sources around the globe, as mentioned by the startup on
Monday.
Microsoft is providing full sponsorship for Signals and
also rolling out a disguised amount in the name of funding, as mentioned
by The Financial Times. It created the customized AI bot so that journalists can benefit from this OpenAI platform as well as Bing.
Meanwhile, Site Editors spoke about the findings arising from the
chatbot and how it was able to generate all kinds of accurate answers,
produce synopses, and also cite sources if need be.
Meanwhile,
another post was found on X where the editor-in-chief spoke about the
great efforts involved in bettering the digital media landscape that’s
been broken for years.
They
spoke about how AI tools are the future and it’s not used solely for
the likes of generating articles. Instead, it would be used for
assisting the entire research ordeal seen on branded stories that are
found on Signals.
Semafor mentioned
how AI technology is taken advantage of to reduce bias and mistrust

On this particular site, we saw stories about signals being produced
using AI technology and how it’s labeled with Semafor Signals and
attained support from software giant Microsoft.
There’s even one
news section on the Signals that combines context for every news story
from all sorts of sources across the board.
Signals pop up on the
homepage for Semafor and that’s going to be included in the real
newsletter as per this statement generated.
Semafor made the
decision to embrace AI tools and it’s quite different from what’s seen
on various other media outlets like The New York Times. The latter is
the one who rolled out a lawsuit against the tech giant and ChatGPT
maker in December for things like copyright infringement.
Semafor
making use of AI is not going to be like making use of the tool to
generate articles through the technology. Instead, it has to do with G/O
Media which has various other sites under its ownership like Gizmodo
and Kotaku who have put forward AI-produced content that was critiqued by its workers in the previous year.
