New in tonight’s Semafor media newsletter: Last year, a Business Insider editor recommended that staff check out a list of business books/memoirs that could inform their reporting. Several did not exist, and appear to have been generated by AI.

Most reporting on AI examines worst-case systems deployed under the guise of efficiency. But what would a good faith effort at Ethical AI look like? For two years, we’ve been looking over the shoulder of a city trying to do things differently.
