OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, has made a groundbreaking deal with News Corp, the parent company of prestigious publications such as the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, the Times, and the Sunday Times. This deal will allow OpenAI to utilize all articles from these renowned news outlets for the development of its artificial intelligence models.
This partnership comes on the heels of similar agreements with other major publishers, including the Financial Times and Axel Springer. However, not all publications have been as willing to collaborate with OpenAI. The New York Times, for example, has taken legal action against the company and its key backer, Microsoft, for alleged copyright infringement related to the use of their content in AI training.
Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, expressed his excitement about the partnership with News Corp, highlighting the importance of upholding the standards of quality journalism in the digital age. Similarly, Robert Thomson, the CEO of News Corp, emphasized the significance of the agreement in setting new standards for truth and value in the industry.
With access to a wealth of news content from these reputable sources, OpenAI aims to enhance its AI models and provide users with even more accurate and reliable information. This collaboration between technology and journalism marks a significant step towards a future where AI and journalism work hand in hand to deliver high-quality news to audiences worldwide.
