News Corp Australia has announced the launch of NewsGPT, a generative artificial intelligence tool designed for internal use, positioning the Murdoch-controlled media giant among the most advanced adopters of the technology in the sector.

The company's chief technology officer, Julian Delany, announced the model’s launch in a memo to staff on Tuesday, which he said “brings the power” of leading models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Anthropic’s Claude.

“It’s a tool to enhance your capabilities, not replace them,” Delany said in the email to staff, seen by Capital Brief.

“Unlike public AI tools, NewsGPT safeguards News Corp Australia’s data and ensures complete compliance with our privacy standards. All your interactions remain secure and private within our NCA environment.”
