I've been down Microsoft's AI rabbit hole to find gems for news

The tech giant has published a 40-page manifesto about responsible AI that suggests five new business opportunities for publishers and journalists

I’m going on a trip. Not a physical trip, more of a mental mosey through Microsoft’s deep thinking on AI, and specifically, how they assess the value of journalism.

Rather than ask what they think and getting marketing waffle back, I decided to invest an entire day diving into the thousands of hours they’ve put into their AI principles.

Someone had to do it, I guess, and it turned out to be me. There are some absolute crackers in there, so sit back and enjoy. Popcorn optional (but advised). 🍿🍿🍿

Before we kick off, let’s welcome new subs from UK publishing giant Immediate, The Daily Mail, global news agency AFP, leading CMS Naviga, the UKs’ #1 parenting forum Mumsnet, ebooks giant Readwise, and Portuguese influencer platform Toluna, among others.
