If enacted, a new bill in Puerto Rico will limit government transparency and severely restrict the work of journalists.

We, alongside 10 other press freedom organizations, urge Puerto Rican Governor Jenniffer González-Colón to reject SB 63.

Today, unionized nonprofit newsrooms across the country are standing shoulder-to-shoulder to demand that news industry leaders agree to common-sense guardrails around the implementation of artificial intelligence to protect the integrity, quality and accuracy of our journalism.

It's what we have been saying all week - readers deserve news, not AI-generated slop #NewsNotSlop
It's simple — @propublica.org workers should not be replaced by artificial intelligence. Our contract proposal specifically says that generative artificial intelligence ("GAI") should not be used to replace employees. Management struck out this entire section in their response to our proposal.

FIGHTING BACK AGAINST AI with worker action AND solid contract protections.

Last year, ZDCG took action online and in-person to gain AI guardrails. We swarmed Slack, spoke out at the bargaining table, and took to the streets to picket.

This after Insider laid off 25 % of staff in May. We stand in solidarity with Insider Guild. Readers deserve #newsnotslop written by humans, for humans.
In a note to staff, Business Insider EIC Jamie Heller says the publication is launching a pilot program called Business Insider AI News Desk that will use AI to “help publish quick news stories.”

Several stories a day will now be “created by AI and edited by a person.”

Our members sit at the intersection of tech and journalism, and we know how damaging irresponsible AI can be. It’s why we fought so hard for the AI protections we have in our contract. Proud to support our editorial coworkers and journalists across the industry in their fight against AI slop.
