OpenAI Partners with AP to Train ChatGPT on News Stories

OpenAI has signed a licensing deal with The Associated Press (AP) to access and use AP's archive of news stories for training its AI systems. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The agreement also involves AP leveraging OpenAI's technology and product expertise. This deal is significant for OpenAI as it provides a valuable source of material for training purposes and serves as a safeguard against potential lawsuits that could restrict its access to content. The deal's impact extends beyond AP, given its size and influence in the news industry. The use of generative AI in news products and services is also being explored by both organizations.
