News Corp on Wednesday announced a deal to allow ChatGPT maker OpenAI to use content from its publications in artificial intelligence products.
OpenAI will access current and archived content from News Corp properties, including The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, MarketWatch and The New York Post, according to a joint statement.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the Wall Street Journal cited sources close to the company as saying it was valued at more than $250 million over five years and included credits for News Corp using OpenAI technology.
Authors, artists and news groups accuse OpenAI and its competitors in the AI ​​production market of using copyrighted content to train models without asking for permission or paying.
Artificial intelligence generation models are trained on mountains of data in an attempt to make software think the way humans think.

“This landmark agreement is not the end, but the beginning of a beautiful friendship in which we are committed together to create and deliver insight and integrity at a moment’s notice,” said News Corp chief executive Robert Thomson.
OpenAI is licensed to display News Corp content in response to queries from users of its technology, under the terms of the agreement.
“Our partnership with News Corp is a proud moment for journalism and technology,” Open AI CEO Sam Altman said in the announcement.
“Together, we’re laying the foundation for a future where AI deeply respects, enhances and supports the standards of world-class journalism.”
ChatGPT’s creator is also in the process of signing content licensing deals with media outlets — including the Associated Press, Germany’s Axel Springer Group (publisher of tabloid Bild), France’s Le Monde newspaper and Spain’s Prisa Media group — to enrich his models.
