Microsoft Partners with Semafor for AI News

News site Semafor is launching an AI-powered editorial product called Signals, which uses AI-powered research from Microsoft's Bing search engine and OpenAI's ChatGPT to create a "global multi-source news feed", according to a statement from the company. Microsoft is sponsoring the product and paying an undisclosed amount to fund it. Semafor created its own custom-built AI bot for journalists based on OpenAI's platform and Bing. While the stories are written by humans, AI is used as a research tool to help curate stories. Semafor's decision to embrace AI tools is in contrast to other outlets like the New York Times, which filed a lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI for alleged copyright infringement in December.
