This partnership comes as media organizations are exploring ways to leverage AI technology, despite concerns over potential copyright infringement. The Associated Press also signed a similar deal with OpenAI in July. Meanwhile, The New York Times and Forbes are investing in AI projects, including hiring a newsroom executive to oversee AI initiatives and building an AI-powered search engine, respectively.
Key takeaways:
- OpenAI and Axel Springer have signed a deal allowing ChatGPT to pull information from Axel Springer’s publications, including _Business Insider_ and _Politico_, and provide links to full stories for transparency.
- The partnership also allows Axel Springer to build with OpenAI’s technology, creating new financial opportunities for the company.
- ChatGPT will have access to premium paywalled articles on _Business Insider_, but not from paid subscription stories on _Politico Pro_.
- Other media organizations, such as _The Associated Press_, have also partnered with OpenAI, while some, like _The New York Times_, BBC, CNN, _Reuters,_ and Vox Media, have blocked OpenAI’s web crawler due to copyright concerns.
