News Corporation has beaten expectations with a solid earnings result in Rupert Murdoch's last quarter as chairman, as the company enters "advanced discussions" about using artificial intelligence to create content.
The New York-based media conglomerate posted $US2.5 billion ($A3.9 billion) in revenue for the three months ended September 30, a one per cent increase compared to the prior year.
The rise in revenue was accompanied by a four per cent increase in profitability and was primarily driven by growth in book publishing and at financial services publisher Dow Jones.
