AI Search and News The Tow Center for Digital Journalism is hosting a panel and lunch discussing AI and search in journalism.

On Feb. 19, the @towcenter.bsky.social will be hosting a panel exploring how AI-enabled search is transforming news distribution and discovery. Join us! www.eventbrite.com/e/ai-search-...

AI chatbots can search the Web. So why don't they? Why AI platforms should be accountable for misrepresenting breaking news

Very interesting new work from my @towcenter.bsky.social colleagues - building on excellent @wired.com article on LLMs and breaking news. Who is making decisions on when to ‘turn on’ web search for chatbots and when not to? www.cjr.org/tow_center/a...

AI chatbots can search the Web. So why don't they? Why AI platforms should be accountable for misrepresenting breaking news

Hallucinations often get the blame, but many bad AI answers happen because the bot doesn’t bother to check the web and instead relies on stale training data.

AI Chatbots Can Search the Web – So Why Don’t They? Why AI platforms should be accountable for misrepresenting breaking news

When ChatGPT said that the US capture of Maduro didn't happen, Wired characterized it was "expected behavior." But @aisvarya17.bsky.social and I think AI platforms' failure to activate web search for a breaking news-related query is not expected, it's a product defect. www.cjr.org/tow_center/a...

AI chatbots can search the Web. So why don't they? Why AI platforms should be accountable for misrepresenting breaking news

AI platforms have the capacity to search the web to answer questions about the news. But sometimes they choose not to, which can result in wildly inaccurate outputs.

This has real consequences for journalism, public understanding, and the information landscape. www.cjr.org/tow_center/a...

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos has still not said anything publicly about federal agents raiding the home of one of his reporters last week.

He is, however, using his X account to refute apparent misinformation about himself within a few hours of it being posted.

I read this paragraph four times. Not because it's murky, but to let the message sink in. www.cjr.org/tow_center/b...

If an information company is clear and determined in supporting (not "saving') democracy, then it can be a home for good journalism. If not then the press must disengage. Now.

Are tech companies allies or threats to press freedom? In 2026, this will be the question that matters most to journalists.

I’ve written for a long time (almost 2 decades) that platform aims are at odds with public interest journalism, and partnerships with them are inevitably compromised. In 2026 that relationship faces the ultimate test, which tech companies will likely fail

This Upton Sinclair quote never misses

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”

My response to anything over the next two weeks

I don't know how many times this needs to be said, but apparently a lot: If you are not in a position to verify the accuracy of some synthetic text, the synthetic text is not useful/has a high potential to be misleading.

This is one of those cases.

Today's addition is a partnership between OpenAI and TIME centered around fostering AI literacy

in the pit

This entire weekend

Today's additions:
- a commercial partnership that allows Google to test new experimental features
- new licensing partners for Gemini
- a deal between ProRata and the Danish Press Publications’ Collective Management Organization

I say this as someone whose entire job is finding the narrow use cases in which AI is actually useful:

All the fear about AI, all the reluctance to adopt it, is entirely legitimate, and a product of the fact that it's been foisted on the public with no consideration of its negative externalities.

Today's addition was a new licensing partnership between Condé Nast and Microsoft, announced late last week

We've already added two more lawsuits and a big new deal by Meta

Last week, two more lawsuits were filed by news publishers against OpenAI and Microsoft, adding to a long string of copyright cases against AI companies. I wrote about it for @columjournreview.bsky.social (via @towcenter.bsky.social) www.cjr.org/analysis/law...
