OpenAI and Time Forge Multiyear Content Partnership
Time magazine has entered into a multi-year content licensing deal with OpenAI, granting the AI company access to its extensive archive of news content spanning over 100 years. The agreement allows OpenAI to utilize Time's articles to enhance its products, including the ChatGPT chatbot, which will now cite and link back to original sources on Time.com. The financial specifics of the deal were not disclosed.
This partnership aligns with similar agreements OpenAI has made with other major news outlets such as the Financial Times, Business Insider-owner Axel Springer, France's Le Monde, and Spain's Prisa Media. These collaborations are essential for training AI models and present lucrative opportunities for news publishers traditionally excluded from internet profits. The deal also enables Time to leverage OpenAI's technology for developing new products and expanding global access to its content.
