A strategic project I envisioned 4 years ago, to help journalists cover the real-world impacts of artificial intelligence tools, is now a new chapter in @APStylebook. My hope: it helps more people write about these technologies accurately + in depth.
AI guidance, terms added to AP Stylebook. See our blog: apne.ws/11PLTVW
