The Wall Street Journal said Stanley Druckenmiller did not breach its policies by using artificial intelligence to write an op-ed published Monday. Paul Gigot, the newspaper’s editorial page editor, said AI is a "fact of modern life" used for research, grammar checks, editing and other tasks. The Journal’s standard is whether a contributor’s work reflects the author’s original argument and whether the author has the standing and credibility to make it. Gigot said Druckenmiller’s long relationship with the Journal and the authenticity of his views met that standard. Druckenmiller, CEO of Duquesne Family Office and an associate of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, acknowledged using AI, comparing it with using a calculator. His article criticized the Treasury Department’s plan to double the maximum value of longer-dated securities it can buy back starting Sept. 9, a measure unveiled by the Trump administration after bond yields surged. The Journal has not labeled the article as AI-assisted. Its parent company, NewsCorp, has a content licensing agreement with OpenAI, while the newspaper uses Google’s Vertex AI platform and other AI tools under journalist review.
