NewsGuild Secures AI Protections for Journalists

Journalists Push Back Against Generative AI

Members of The NewsGuild-CWA are negotiating strong safeguards in union contracts to ensure generative artificial intelligence won’t be used by employers to replace newsroom staff or create content without journalist input and oversight.

Contract Wins Against AI Encroachment

The Guild has achieved several key victories, including provisions that require employers to notify workers before AI tools are implemented and guarantees that AI won’t be used to evaluate job performance or surveil reporters. These protections aim to secure the integrity and future of journalism.
