In a recent announcement, OpenAI revealed a collaboration with Condé Nast, enabling its AI tools like ChatGPT and SearchGPT to feature content from prominent publications such as Vogue, The New Yorker, and Wired. This partnership aims to enhance the search experience by integrating conversational AI with reliable web information, providing quick and relevant answers with direct links to news stories. OpenAI plans to incorporate these features into ChatGPT in the future.
This move is part of a broader trend where media companies are teaming up with AI firms to share content. For instance, Perplexity AI introduced a revenue-sharing model for publishers in July, following plagiarism concerns. Early participants included Fortune, Time, and The Texas Tribune.
In June, OpenAI and Time magazine entered a multi-year agreement allowing OpenAI to use Time’s extensive archive to improve its AI models and display content in ChatGPT. Similarly, in May, OpenAI partnered with News Corp. to access articles from The Wall Street Journal and other outlets. Reddit also agreed to let OpenAI train its AI on Reddit content.
However, the rise of AI-generated content has led to legal challenges. The Center for Investigative Reporting sued OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement, joining other publications like The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune. The New York Times filed a lawsuit in December, seeking damages for the alleged unauthorized use of its content in ChatGPT’s training data. OpenAI has disputed these claims.
