OpenAI’s ChatGPT developer has struck a deal with News Corp to integrate content from esteemed publications like the Wall Street Journal and New York Post into its AI platform. The agreement includes access to current and archived articles from all News Corp publications, adding to OpenAI’s growing list of collaborations with major media outlets.
This partnership follows similar deals with the Financial Times and Axel Springer, showcasing OpenAI’s commitment to enhancing AI models with reputable news content. However, not all publishers have welcomed this trend, as some, like the New York Times, have resorted to legal action over the use of their content in AI training.
News Corp’s chairman, Lachlan Murdoch, expressed excitement for the collaboration, emphasizing the importance of upholding journalistic standards in the digital age. OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, lauded the partnership as a step towards a future where AI respects and enhances journalism.
Robert Thomson, CEO of News Corp, lauded the deal as setting new standards for integrity and value in journalism. The integration of renowned news sources into AI platforms marks a significant development in the intersection of technology and media.
