Axel Springer and OpenAI announced a partnership deal that will offer news summaries from Axel Springer media (Politico, Business Insider, Bild, and Welt) on ChatGPT, which will include links and attribution to the original sources. The Axel Springer content will include its paid content.
We are excited to have shaped this global partnership between Axel Springer and OpenAI – the first of its kind. We want to explore the opportunities of AI empowered journalism – to bring quality, societal relevance and the business model of journalism to the next level.
Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Axel Springer
OpenAI had attempted to negotiate other licensing deals, including with the New York Times, but the latter decided to go in a different direction to protect its content from scraping and even considering suing OpenAI.
