OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has entered into a multiyear global partnership with News Corp, giving the AI company access to both current and archived news content from News Corp’s major publications.
This includes well-known outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, New York Post, The Times, and several Australian newspapers.
The deal allows OpenAI to use this content not only for training its AI models but also to answer user questions directly with accurate, high-quality news material.
