This Week in AI: OpenAI and publishers are partners of convenience | TechCrunch

May 25, 2024 - techcrunch.com
OpenAI has announced a multi-year deal with News Corp to train its generative AI models on articles from News Corp brands, including The Wall Street Journal and Financial Times. The agreement also allows OpenAI to display News Corp mastheads within apps like ChatGPT. The deal is reportedly worth over $250 million and helps OpenAI avoid potential copyright disputes. However, concerns have been raised about the long-term implications for publishers once AI no longer requires additional data for training.

TikTok is incorporating generative AI into its ads business, and Microsoft has revealed a new lineup of AI-powered Windows machines. OpenAI is also removing a voice from its ChatGPT feature after users found it eerily similar to Scarlett Johansson.
