AI-generated news should carry ‘nutrition’ labels, thinktank says

The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), a UK-based think tank, is advocating for regulation of AI-generated news. The IPPR recommends mandatory "nutrition" labels for AI news, detailing the sources used, and a licensing regime requiring tech companies to compensate publishers for content used in AI news generation. This proposal aims to ensure fair compensation for news organizations and maintain trust and plurality in the AI news environment. The IPPR suggests the UK's competition regulator could initiate licensing discussions, and encourages government support for diverse news business models. Their report tested several AI tools and found inconsistencies in source citation, particularly regarding the BBC.
