As part of the agreement, Axel Springer will provide content from its media brands to train OpenAI's large language models, such as GPT-4, which powers ChatGPT. The News Media Alliance, representing over 2,200 publishers, released research in October indicating that data sets used to train popular AI models rely significantly more on publisher content, outweighing it by a factor ranging from over five to almost 100, compared to generic web content.
Key takeaways:
- OpenAI has entered into a partnership with Axel Springer, the parent company of Politico, to allow ChatGPT to summarize news stories from Politico and Business Insider.
- Once the deal is in effect, ChatGPT will respond to user queries with summaries of news articles from media outlets like Politico, Business Insider, Bild, and Welt, including articles that are usually limited to subscribers.
- The partnership follows a similar deal that OpenAI made with the Associated Press in July, where it was allowed to license the AP's news archive for training data.
- Axel Springer will provide content from its media brands as training data for OpenAI's large language models, such as GPT-4, which powers ChatGPT.
