OpenAI is working with major news organizations to bring their news stories to ChatGPT, which serves 300 million weekly global users. The company has signed deals with the Guardian newspaper and Schibsted, which owns several major newspapers in Norway and Sweden.
When ChatGPT users ask questions, they’ll now get summaries of news from these publishers. Each summary will clearly show which newspaper it came from and include links to read the full story. This helps readers know where their news is coming from and fact-check information if they want to.
“This partnership reflects the intellectual property rights and value associated with our award-winning journalism,” says Keith Underwood, Chief Financial and Operating Officer at the Guardian. The Guardian will also use ChatGPT’s technology in its own offices to create new features for readers.
Schibsted, the Norwegian media company, is already using AI in interesting ways. Their newspaper Aftonbladet created a chatbot that answered over 600,000 questions about the U.S. presidential election. They also use text-to-speech technology to convert news articles into audio and text-to-video solutions to turn articles into multimedia content.
Brad Lightcap, OpenAI’s chief operating officer, explains why they’re making these deals: “We want to help both publishers and audiences benefit from advanced AI technology.” This means newspapers get their stories to more readers, while ChatGPT users get reliable news.
