The OpenAI developer has entered into negotiations with CNN, Time and Fox to grant the company a license to use materials from these media to train ChatGPT, Bloomberg writes, citing sources. Previously, The New York Times filed a lawsuit against the company for the illegal use, according to the newspaper, of its articles.
According to agency sources, the developer wants to obtain a license that allows him to use materials from CNN journalists to train his chatbot with generative artificial intelligence.
Other interlocutors of the publication affirm that the negotiations with Fox and CNN concern not only text materials, but also video and graphic content.
According to Time CEO Jessica Sibley, the company is discussing with OpenAI the cost of using unique materials.
According to informed sources, during the negotiations they are discussing how ChatGPT will receive content from publishers and how much traffic will be redirected to their sites to increase their audience. The issue of displaying the content of editors in real time and indicating the authorship of this or that material is also being discussed.
The agency cites sources from The Information who stated that OpenAI offers publishers $5 million a year to license articles. However, according to sources, this is too small an amount for such large media.
Late last year, the largest newspaper, The New York Times, filed a lawsuit against OpenAI in Manhattan District Court. The plaintiff alleges that the company illegally used millions of articles published by its authors to train ChatGPT. The newspaper claims it faces “billions of dollars in legal and substantial damages” for it.
OpenAI already has a cooperation agreement with a large media consortium: the European Axel Springer. As part of the partnership, ChatGPT gained access to the publisher’s published media, notably Politico, Bild, Business Insider, Welt and others.
