News will soon be able to be delivered via ChatGPT.
Axel Springer, the parent company of Politico and Business Insider, inked a deal with OpenAI to share the content of its news publications with ChatGPT.
The news publisher announced on Wednesday that is partnering with the popular chatbot to provide selected article summaries from Politico, Business Insider, Bild, and Welt, including paid content.
ChatGPT will provide the article link along with the summary to answer news-related user queries.
According to Axel Springer, the decision was made to "strengthen independent journalism in the age of artificial intelligence" and help OpenAI's training of its large language models.
The partnership is expected to advance Axel Springer's own AI-driven ventures with OpenAI's technologies.
Available Politico, Business Insider Articles in ChatGPT
While Axel Springer has agreed to the first-of-its-kind deal with OpenAI, not all of its articles will be fully available for ChatGPT.
People will be able to see summaries for the premium articles from Business Insider but not from the paid subscription stories in Politico Pro, The Verge reported.
Business Insider editor-in-chief Nicholas Carlson previously said that the news media has been looking to explore new ventures with AI as early as April.
Axel Springer's news articles will be used to train GPT-4.
News Media's Stance on AI Revolution
The deal follows after the Associated Press inked a similar deal with OpenAI in July to help train its AI models for content.
Otherwise, prominent news organizations in the US have an opposite reaction to the growing AI industry.
The New York Times, ABC, Bloomberg, The Guardian, CNN, Reuters, and Vox Media have already blocked OpenAI's web crawler from accessing its data.
The News Media Alliance, a trade group of 2,000 publishers, reported that OpenAI's training data "significantly" rely more on news publishers.
