This is the best summary I could come up with:
AP vice president for standards and inclusion Amanda Barrett said in a blog post the publication does not see AI “as a replacement of journalists in any way” but developed guidelines for reporters and editors on how to use it.
Journalists for AP can experiment with ChatGPT but are asked to exercise caution by not using the tool to create publishable content.
The publication said it will not allow AI to alter photos, videos, or audio and will not use AI-generated images unless it is the subject of a news story.
Even as AP sets these standards for its staff, the publication signed an agreement with ChatGPT maker OpenAI to use its news stories to train generative AI models.
AP also uses automated tools to produce quick write-ups around financial reports and minor sports leagues; it has joined other organizations like BuzzFeed to use AI in its workflow.
It also joined other news companies and groups in signing an open letter urging transparency into data to train generative AI models.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Here is the AP blog post

Seems like a standard policy for staff. Short, simple, good.
This was more interesting to me:
[licensing agreement already in place] The arrangement sees OpenAI licensing part of AP’s text archive, while AP will leverage OpenAI’s technology and product expertise. Both organizations will benefit from each other’s established expertise in their respective industries, and believe in the responsible creation and use of these AI systems.
