内容总结：

新闻集团近日与人工智能初创公司Symbolic.ai达成重要合作，标志着媒体行业对AI技术的应用从实验阶段迈向规模化部署。根据协议，新闻集团旗下财经新闻枢纽道琼斯通讯社将率先采用Symbolic.ai的AI平台，该平台涵盖新闻简报生成、音频转录、事实核查、标题优化及SEO建议等多项功能。

Symbolic.ai由易趣前首席执行官德文·维尼希和科技媒体Ars Technica联合创始人乔恩·斯托克斯创立，其宣称该平台可提升高质量新闻内容的生产效率，在复杂研究任务中甚至实现高达90%的效能提升。此次合作延续了新闻集团近年来积极拥抱AI技术的战略方向——该集团早在2024年就与OpenAI达成多年内容授权协议，去年11月更表示计划将内容资源拓展授权至更多AI公司。

分析指出，随着传统媒体集团与新兴技术公司的深度绑定，AI技术正在重塑从内容生产到分发的全链条媒体生态。

新闻机构探索人工智能应用已有数年，但多数尝试仍停留在实验阶段。如今，一家名为Symbolic.ai的新兴初创企业正试图打破这种局面，并与传媒大亨鲁珀特·默多克旗下的新闻集团达成了重要合作协议。

新闻集团旗下拥有《市场观察》《纽约邮报》《华尔街日报》等重要资产，其财经新闻核心平台道琼斯通讯社即将启用Symbolic的人工智能平台。该平台由eBay前首席执行官德文·温尼格与科技媒体Ars Technica联合创始人乔恩·斯托克斯共同创立，宣称能"协助生产优质新闻与内容"，其工具甚至可使"复杂调研任务的效率提升高达90%"。

该平台旨在优化编辑工作流程，在新闻简报制作、音频转录、事实核查、标题优化、搜索引擎优化建议等方面提供支持。新闻集团向来对人工智能融入媒体业务持开放态度：2024年与OpenAI达成多年期合作，授权其使用新闻内容；去年11月更表示考虑将内容授权范围扩展至其他人工智能公司。

Newsrooms have been experimenting with AI for several years now but, for the most part, those efforts have been just that: experiments. A relatively unknown startup, Symbolic.ai, wants to change that, and it just signed a major deal with News Corp, the media conglomerate owned by Rupert Murdoch.
News Corp, the major assets of which include MarketWatch, the New York Post, and The Wall Street Journal, is set to begin using Symbolic’s AI platform with its financial news hub Dow Jones Newswires.
Symbolic.ai, which was founded by former eBay CEO Devin Wenig and Ars Technica co-founder Jon Stokes, says its AI platform can “assist in the production of quality journalism and content” and that its tool has even led to “productivity gains of as much as 90% for complex research tasks.” The platform is designed to make editorial workflows more efficient, providing improvements in areas like newsletter creation, audio transcription, fact-checking, “headline optimization,” SEO advice, and others.
In general, News Corp has shown a willingness to integrate AI into its media operations. In 2024, the company signed a multi-year partnership with OpenAI, wherein it would license its material to the AI company. Last November, the media conglomerate signaled that it was considering branching out, and licensing its material to other AI companies.
