April 22 - Microsoft-backed OpenAI has reached a licensing agreement with The Washington Post to bring the newspaper's content to its ChatGPT platform.
Under the partnership, ChatGPT will feature summaries, excerpts, and links to The Post's reporting in response to relevant user prompts. The move aims to increase access to trustworthy journalism within the AI chatbot, said OpenAI's Head of Media Partnerships, Varun Shetty.
Peter Elkins-Williams, Head of Global Partnerships at The Washington Post, said the integration aligns with the paper's efforts to reach readers where they are, reinforcing its push for accessible, real-time news consumption.
The deal adds to OpenAI's expanding list of media partners, which includes the Financial Times, Axel Springer, Le Monde, and Prisa Media. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), a major backer of OpenAI, is also named in the content integration initiative.
However, OpenAI and Microsoft remain embroiled in a copyright lawsuit filed by The New York Times (NYT) in December 2023, which alleges unauthorized use of its articles to train AI models. Both companies have denied wrongdoing. Additional lawsuits from authors and journalists over similar claims are ongoing in U.S. courts.
