OpenAI on Wednesday announced partnerships with French newspaper Le Monde and Spanish group Prisa Media, saying it plans to develop news-related uses of its ChatGPT artificial intelligence tool.
OpenAI will be able to use content from Le Monde and Prisa Media publications, including El Pais, Cinco Dias and El Huffpost to train the models that power its artificial intelligence, the San Francisco-based company said in an online post.
“Working with Le Monde and Prisa Media, our goal is to enable ChatGPT users around the world to connect with news in new ways that are interactive and insightful,” OpenAI CEO Brad said in the post Lightcap.
In the coming months, ChatGPT users will be able to receive summaries of news content from publishers along with links to original articles, according to OpenAI.

EU Parliament approves ‘historic’ rules on artificial intelligence
The European Parliament gave final approval on Wednesday to the world’s most far-reaching rules to regulate artificial intelligence, including powerful systems like OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
The AI ​​Act focuses on higher-risk uses of the technology by the private and public sectors, with stricter obligations for providers, stricter transparency rules for the most powerful models like ChatGPT, and a complete ban on tools deemed too risky.
Brussels has been racing to pass the new rules since Microsoft-backed OpenAI’s ChatGPT arrived on the scene in late 2022, unleashing a global AI race.
There was a flurry of excitement about genetic AI as ChatGPT wowed the world with its human-like capabilities — from digesting complex text to producing poems in seconds or passing medical tests.
But along with the excitement came a quick realization of the threats — most notably that deep fake audio and video generated by AI would fuel disinformation campaigns.
