CoinDesk has released guidelines for the use of generative AI tools in its content creation process. While AI can create text, images, and audio content quickly, it lacks the experience, judgment, and capabilities of a trained journalist. CoinDesk will allow generative text to be used in some articles subject to strict rules, including plagiarism checks, fact-checking, and editing with a human touch. The use of generative images is discontinued due to pending litigation, while generative voices may be used with disclosure. AI-generated social copy and headlines are allowed, and AI-generated story ideas may be vetted and researched by reporters or editors.
