Is the press signing its own death warrant when it comes to artificial intelligence? Brian Stelter [probes]( the question on the latest episode of Inside the Hive, where he’s joined by Wired global editorial director Katie Drummond and Axios senior media reporter Sara Fischer. The three discuss how the media’s licensing deals with companies like OpenAI could undermine the industry’s ability to keep pulling in revenue via subscriptions and digital advertising. “This is being sort of foisted upon all of us as consumers and journalists,” Drummond says of AI. “It is the [tech] companies who are creating this future, whether we like it or not.” Elsewhere, Eric Lutz [pillories]( the Senate GOP for saying one thing about IVF and then doing another. Plus, speaking of reproductive rights, Bess Levin [digs into]( the Supreme Court’s surprise decision on mifepristone, which they ruled can continue to be available to millions of Americans—for the time being.
