OpenAI and The Washington Post just announced a new content partnership that will see ChatGPT summarize and link to the Post’s original reporting in its answers.
This is OpenAI’s latest media partnership, with the AI giant inking deals with over 20 news publishers so far, including outlets like The Guardian and Axios.
The Washington Post says it will benefit from ChatGPT’s vast audience, with the chatbot now counting more than 500 million users. Meanwhile, OpenAI will benefit from higher-quality answers based on the Post’s “timely, well-sourced reporting” per its press release.
Financial terms of the deal are undisclosed and The Washington Post declined to share when asked. OpenAI didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
OpenAI has been embraced by some newsrooms, but not all: The New York Times, for example, is suing OpenAI for allegedly using its copyrighted work, a charge OpenAI denies.
