Rupert Murdoch's News Corp has signed a deal with Symbolic.ai, a new AI journalism startup that will be joining News Corp's expansive media conglomerate.
Symbolic.ai was founded by former eBay CEO Devin Wenig and Ars Technica co-founder Jon Stokes. According to the creators, Symbolic.ai is capable of assisting journalists in the production of quality journalism and content, and its implementation has led to "productivity gains of as much as 90% for complex research tasks."
The creators say the platform is intended to make workflows more efficient, such as the creation of newsletters, fact-checking, headline optimization, SEO advice, and audio transcription. News Corp hasn't shied away from the emergence of AI, with the company announcing in 2024 that it signed a deal with ChatGPT creator OpenAI for it to license News Corp content.
Then in November last year, News Corp said it was considering expanding the licensing of its content to other AI companies. For those who don't know, News Corp owns major media assets such MarketWatch, the New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, Sky News Australia, The Times, and book publishing company HarperCollins.
