1 verified, source-linked AI implementation documented in 2026.
'Pink slime' AI newsroom network: Prism runs more than 200 AI-generated local-news and hobby sites across the US (including Grand Traverse and Iron County, Michigan), publishing two to six 'local' stories a day under the bylines of ~40 journalists — none of whom are human. The AI copies and rewrites other outlets' reporting (subjects are never contacted), pairs it with AI-generated 'illustrations' that frequently misdepict people and places (changed races, fabricated rescue scenes, wrong farm structures), and publishes without per-article human editing. Run by an Israel-based startup with four employees; launched May 2026 claiming to address America's news deserts, on an automate-production-and-scale-ad-revenue model.
Prism News is one of 182 organizations in United States documented in the index, which holds 363 cases from the country. Its work spans 1 function type, including Content Production & Automation, documented across 257 organizations worldwide.
