OpenAI will pay to train its models on Business Insider and Politico articles

Dec 13, 2023 - engadget.com
OpenAI has entered into a deal with German publisher Axel Springer to use its news articles for training AI models and displaying real-time information from the publisher's brands in ChatGPT’s responses. The deal, reportedly worth tens of millions of euros over three years, comes amid criticism from creators and publishers who have sued AI companies for using their content without consent or compensation. As part of the agreement, Axel Springer will supply both current and archived articles from all its brands to train OpenAI's large language models, and will also be able to use OpenAI’s technology to enhance its own products.

This is not the first time OpenAI has partnered with a news publisher. Earlier this year, it entered a two-year partnership with The Associated Press to use select content from the AP’s archives dating back to 1985 to train its AI models. However, unlike the Axel Springer deal, the AP content will not be used in ChatGPT's responses. OpenAI also has a $5 million partnership with the American Journalism Project to explore how local news organizations can benefit from artificial intelligence.
