Axel Springer is implementing an AI tool at Politico which violated the union contract and editorial standards. A union, representing Politico journalists, has initiated arbitration against leadership due to the sudden deployment of AI technology with very little notice. The AI generated live summaries during critical political events but was found to produce inaccurate content, including invented quotes and spelling errors. The contract mandates that management notify journalists 60 days prior to implementing AI products that significantly alter their roles.
The AI tool was caught inventing quotes, misspelling names, and using language that violated Politico's editorial standards, including terms like 'illegal immigrant'.
Politico management must give its journalists 60 days' notice if it plans to roll out AI products that materially and substantively impact their job duties.
