Dear Colleagues,
You will no doubt recall that we announced a landmark pact with OpenAI a few weeks ago, ensuring that we will all play a crucial role in the future of news creation and delivery. I was asked last week to provide context for our employees at News UK and thought it useful to share that exegesis and a selection of their pithier questions. We have both an extraordinary opportunity and a profound responsibility.
