The Atlantic and Vox Media have joined the growing list of publishers signing licensing agreements with OpenAI, allowing their content to be used to train its AI models and shared within ChatGPT. The deal was announced on Wednesday.
The deals cover various aspects, including how content from the publishers is displayed and attributed inside ChatGPT. Articles from Vox Media’s portfolio, including The Verge, Vox, New York Magazine, Eater, SBNation, and their archives, as well as content from The Atlantic, will receive attribution links when cited. Vox Media plans to begin sharing content with OpenAI in the coming weeks. The company aims to leverage OpenAI’s technology to enhance its affiliate commerce product, The Strategist Gift Scout, and expand its ad data platform, Forte.
The Atlantic, on the other hand, is developing a microsite called Atlantic Labs, where its teams can experiment with developing AI tools to better serve its journalism and readers. These partnerships demonstrate OpenAI’s commitment to responsible and transparent use of media content in training its AI models. By securing licensing agreements with reputable publishers, OpenAI ensures compliance with copyright regulations while benefiting from high-quality training data.
OpenAI has been proactively securing partnerships across the media world, aiming to license training data and ensure compliance with copyright regulations. The company has recently reached agreements with News Corp, Axel Springer, DotDash Meredith, the Financial Times, and The Associated Press. As the AI industry continues to evolve, such collaborations between technology companies and media organizations pave the way for innovative applications and ethical practices in the development of advanced AI systems.
