The Los Angeles Times’ billionaire owner, who unveiled an AI tool that generates opposing perspectives to be displayed on Opinion stories, was unaware the new tool had created pro-KKK arguments less than 24 hours after it launched — and hours after the AI comments had been taken down.

Insights, a new Los Angeles Times AI-powered summary and "bias meter" tool, offered a rosy perspective on the Ku Klux Klan in Orange County.

The brand-new Los Angeles Times artificial intelligence feature didn’t exactly get off to the best start. The long-touted feature named “Insights” launched this week for the paper’s opinion articles and is designed to “offer readers an instantly accessible way to see a wide range of different AI-enabled perspectives alongside the positions presented in the article.

The Los Angeles Times removed its new artificial intelligence feature from one of its articles on Tuesday — only 24 hours following its debut — after it shared a perspective downplaying the Ku Klux Klan's racist history.

Billionaire owner Patrick Soon-Shiong championed the feature as “the next evolution of the LA Times,” stating in a letter to readers that it would provide an “instantly accessible way to see a wide range of different AI-enabled perspectives alongside the positions presented in the article.”
