OpenAI will pay publishing giant Axel Springer to use its news content in the company’s artificial intelligence products, marking a “first of its kind” global publishing deal that will allow the ChatGPT creator to train its AI models on the news organization’s reporting. The agreement will allow OpenAI’s models to take advantage of the publisher’s higher quality and more current information in its chatbots’ answers. “We are excited to have shaped this global partnership between Axel Springer and OpenAI — the first of its kind,” Mathias Döpfner, chief executive of Axel Springer, said in a statement. “This partnership with Axel Springer will help provide people with new ways to access quality, real-time news content through our AI tool,” said Brad Lightcap, chief operating officer of OpenAI, in a statement. Earlier this year, OpenAI also announced an agreement with The Associated Press to license the news collective’s reporting archive.
