JAKARTA - Microsoft announced on Monday February 5 that it will cooperate with media platform Semafor and other news organizations to assist journalists using artificial intelligence (AI) in content production.

Through this collaboration, Microsoft will help these organizations to identify and refine procedures and policies to use artificial intelligence responsibly in news gathering and business practices. This was conveyed by the tech giant in a blog post.

Semafor said it would launch a new news stream called "Signals", which journalists can use with the help of tools from OpenAI and Microsoft to provide readers with analysis and insight into recent news.

This deal, with undisclosed financial details, comes at a time when Microsoft and OpenAI are facing a lawsuit filed by the New York Times over unauthorized use of content published by them to train artificial intelligence technology.

OpenAI and Microsoft have said that using copyright-protected works to train AI products is a "fair use," a legal doctrine governing the use of unlicensed materials protected by copyright.

Microsoft also announced collaborations with other news organizations, including the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, the Online News Association, and the GroundTruth Project to explore ways to incorporate generative artificial intelligence into their work and newsrooms.
