OpenAI Brings More Content to ChatGPT
Ahead of the release of its GPT-5 model, OpenAI has already been expanding its training data to better improve its AI models in, at least, legal ways.
The AI firm has recently been reported to finishing several deals with news publishers to acquire their licensed content for AI training in exchange for offering their services on news platforms.
Many of the deals signed involved billions of dollars.
The move comes as OpenAI continues to evade copyright lawsuits from authors and publishers, including the New York Times, for using their licensed content without permission or monetary compensations.
