The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and Yahoo News have shared lessons from rolling out AI-powered article summaries.
The three media giants launched AI summaries to help readers get quick recaps, but they faced a key reality check. Summaries can’t replace full journalism, they stressed.
The Wall Street Journal emphasized the limits of AI-generated digests. Bloomberg and Yahoo agreed, pointing out their summaries depend on solid journalism as the base. 
Omar Ramadan, a journalist featured in the discussion, explained the challenge of maintaining context and accuracy in AI summaries. The companies warned not to treat these tools as a substitute for thorough reporting.
Omar Ramadan stated:
"Summaries aren’t a replacement for journalism: they can’t exist without it."
The rollout shows AI summaries are useful but still tethered tightly to traditional reporting.
