The Associated Press (AP) has updated AP Newsroom with a number of AI-powered features. 

These include Storylines, a new tool powered by Storytelling AI from ShortTok, that makes it easy to discover curated video and photo content organized around key themes and stories. For instance, when Pope Francis returned to the Vatican after his hospitalisation, Storylines surfaced adjacent themes like public reaction and recovery updates to help users explore every angle.

In addition, there is More Like This, also from ShortTok, that leverages AI to display visually similar and contextually relevant related content.
