Ridgewood NJ, the Arena Group, the parent company of Sports Illustrated, has announced the removal of CEO Ross Levinsohn following controversies surrounding the alleged use of artificial intelligence (AI) in content production. Recent reports by tech and culture site Futurism suggested that Sports Illustrated published articles written by AI, incorporating headshots from an AI marketplace without disclosure. The Arena Group initially denied the claims, asserting that the articles were product reviews and licensed content from an external third-party company. The ensuing backlash has ignited discussions on AI’s role in media, raising questions about media credibility and ethical implications. Last week, Operations President Andrew Kraft, Media President Rob Barrett, and Corporate Counsel Julie Fenster were dismissed. Manoj Bhargava, founder of 5-hour Energy, will serve as interim CEO during this transitional period.
