Aiming to cut off any potential negative impacts to its reporting, the Associated Press issued new guidelines on Wednesday limiting staff journalists’ use of generative artificial intelligence tools for news reporting.

Amanda Barrett, AP’s Vice President for Standards and Inclusion, laid out restrictions that establish how AP will deal with artificial intelligence moving forward. First and foremost, journalists are not to use ChatGPT to create publishable content.

“Any output from a generative AI tool should be treated as unvetted source material,” Barrett wrote, adding that staff should use their editorial judgment and the outlet’s sourcing standards when considering any information for publication.

Furthermore, the AP will not allow the use of generative AI to add or subtract elements from photos, videos, or audio. It also will not transmit AI-generated images that are suspected to be a “false depiction,” better known as deepfakes, unless it is the subject of a story and clearly labeled.

Warning staff about the ease of spreading misinformation thanks to generative AI, Barrett advised AP journalists to be diligent and use the same caution and skepticism they usually would, including trying to identify the source of the original content.
