Precedent-setting moment in news media. The editor of the second most important opinion page in the country greenlights the use of AI for drafting pieces, no disclosure necessary.
In a statement, WSJ opinion editor Paul Gigot defends Druckenmiller's use of AI to write Monday's op ed, saying "AI is a fact of modern life," and "nobody can doubt that his op-ed is his genuine opinion."
Update: The FT added a note at the top of this piece saying that AI was used to condense a longer draft of this column.
The publication also says it has specific editorial rules prohibiting AI use in its journalism, which this piece presumably violated.
Per a memo to staff today, Bloomberg employees now have to pay healthcare premiums. The company previously covered the costs.
