"AI-Powered Journalism: Microsoft, Semafor, and ONA Lead the Way"

Microsoft is collaborating with media startup Semafor to use AI chatbots to develop news stories, as the tech giant faces a multibillion-dollar lawsuit from The New York Times. The partnership involves Microsoft sponsoring a breaking news feed called "Signals," which will offer a feed of breaking news and analysis on big stories. Semafor's journalists will use AI tools to quickly search for reporting and commentary from other news sources across the globe in multiple languages, with the goal of providing different points of view and meaningful analysis. This collaboration comes as media companies are increasingly concerned about the impact of generative AI on their businesses.
