A spokesman for the paper said key members of staff belonging to the union had been told about a trial of new AI features in advance.
Viner and Bateson set out reassurances that the disruptive technology would be used transparently in a joint statement last year.
“GenAI tools are exciting but are currently unreliable. There is no room for unreliability in our journalism, nor our marketing, creative and engineering work,” they said.
“If we wish to include significant elements generated by AI in a piece of work, we will only do so with clear evidence of a specific benefit, human oversight, and the explicit permission of a senior editor. We will be open with our readers when we do this.”
But a second staffer said that they had flouted this promise as they scrambled to publish the newspaper with just a skeleton staff.
“They used it to strike-break after promising AI would be used in consultation with staff,” said one. “And would readers be happy to know AI was used?”
On Thursday staff who are members of the National Union of Journalists voted to withdraw their support for the use of AI technology.
“[We are] deeply disturbed to learn that these tools were rolled out specifically to assist working staff during the recent strike,” they said.
“With this in mind, the [union] instructs its members to withdraw cooperation with the development of these tools and refuse to use them if the management rolls them out, until we have agreed safeguards for their development, rollout and use.”
The day after the vote was passed Guardian Media Group announced that Matt Brittin, former Google EMEA president, was to join its board.
NFL playoff ratings continued their massive decline for the Commanders/Lions matchup on Saturday night. The Divisional Round matchup saw a decline of nearly four million viewers.
We discuss the ratings decline throughout the NFL this season. We discuss the decline in quality of play on the field...and how the NFL has no solution to this problem. We also explain why youth participation declines are leading to problems in the NFL.
Google has been among the forerunners of the AI revolution, using it to provide overviews of search queries from websites on its own results page.
A Guardian spokesman said: “In November last year management briefed key members of the Guardian NUJ chapel on two entirely optional new genAI features to be trialled by editorial.
“One tool suggests ‘Alt text’ to help visually impaired readers understand the content of a photograph or image, while the other tool suggests a number of entirely optional headlines on an article written by a journalist. The two tools were released to a small group of senior management who trialled them on a subset of articles published.
TSMC's first investment in Arizona was announced in May 2020, with the company's total investment in the its three projects there eventually standing at over $65 billion.
Much of the investments were committed after the Biden administration signed the bipartisan CHIPS Act in August 2022, committing almost $53 billion to invest in the domestic semiconductor supply chain and counter China.
While the incoming President is also expected to make competition with China and onshoring manufacturing a priority in his second term, there has been debate as to whether Trump and the Republican-led House would re-examine the CHIPS Act.
During his campaign for the White House, Trump publicly criticized the bill and its price tag, arguing instead that tariffs were a more effective strategy to onshore chip manufacturing. The President-elect also accused Taiwan of "stealing" U.S. chip business.
However, industry experts have told CNBC that they expect Trump to leave the policy mostly intact due to its bipartisan support in Washington.
TSMC on Thursday reported record profit for the fourth quarter on strong demand for its AI chips, sending its shares up nearly 4%. Shares closed 1.36% higher on Friday.
In an earnings call following the esults, CEO and Chairman C.C. Wei highlighted TSMC's "long-standing and good relationship" with the U.S. government and the commitment and support it has received on the federal, state and city levels.
"Let me assure you that we have a very frank and open communication with the current government and with the future one also," he said in response to an investor question.
This came after Trump wrote on his social media app Truth Social he would "issue an executive order on Monday" to extend the period of time before the ban was set to take place.
"I'm asking companies not to let TikTok stay dark!" Trump wrote on Sunday morning.
Although TikTok was shut down for American users late Saturday night, and also removed from Apple and Google's app stores, some were able to log on to the platform on Sunday through their mobile apps and desktops.
The law banning TikTok was set to take effect on Sunday as ByteDance, the China-based owner of TikTok, had not yet divested the company to a non-Chinese entity. The Supreme Court had ruled on Friday to uphold the law that would ban the app and penalize third-party internet service providers, such as Apple and Google, if they supported TikTok on their platforms after the ban went into effect.
Despite TikTok's pledge to reinstate service in the U.S. following Trump's statement, the company's future remains unclear under the current law.
In a snowy showdown between the Ravens and Bills, Lamar Jackson's legacy took center stage—but was it Mark Andrews' costly mistakes that derailed Baltimore's chances? Josh Allen and the Bills squeaked out a win, but the real story lies in the Ravens' collapse. Was it the weather, the coaching, or the players that sealed their fate? We break down the game, the key moments, and what it means for Lamar Jackson's future in the NFL legacy debate. Don't miss this heated discussion!
Don Lemon has been desperate to return to mainstream cable news...after being fired by CNN two years ago. According to Radar Online...Don Lemon wanted to replace Dan Abrams at NewsNation. However...Don Lemon was rejected by his former friend Chris Cuomo.

Social network Bluesky also just added an optional custom video feed, however, its app has dropped out of the top 10 position it held last week on the U.S. App Store. It’s No. 13 as of Monday morning on the App Store and No. 15 on Google Play.
Still, Bluesky gained a few more downloads thanks to the TikTok ban and now has 28.29 million users, up from 27.5 million last week.
According to estimates from app store intelligence provider Appfigures, RedNote, Flip, and Clapper, all saw a massive growth spurt last week from single-digit thousand downloads per day earlier in January to tens of thousands of U.S. downloads on Friday.
RedNote, meanwhile, was receiving hundreds of thousands of downloads.
RedNote gained 818,000 new U.S. installs across the App Store and Google Play during January 2025. Because the app is localized in Mandarin, language learning app Duolingo also reported a 216% spike in U.S. users trying to learn the language last week.
Currently, it’s the No. 1 app in the U.S. on the U.S. App Store and Google Play, excluding games.
