CNET will pause publication of stories generated using artificial intelligenceFrom the source, 2023-01-20
What happened
CNET, then owned by Red Ventures, published dozens of stories generated with an in-house AI tool, with little disclosure, until readers noticed in January 2023. After criticism and corrections to AI-written stories, leadership told staff it was pausing AI-generated stories for now. CNET's current AI policy says it has not published new work assisted by that tool, called RAMP, since 2023 and does not use generative AI to write content for its site.
