Publications sued OpenAI for copyright infringement, but some are now partnering up with it

News publications like The Atlantic and News Corp, along with other publishing brands such as Condé Nast have partnered up with OpenAI, licensing their content for use in AI products like ChatGPT and SearchGPT, according to a Business Insider report. This is in contrast to the time when the New York Times along with eight other papers sued OpenAI for copyright infringement, with allegations that their content was used for training the AI model. This also comes as an attempt by publications to regain revenue lost so far due to the rise of AI and changes in traditional search and social media algorithms. Publications partnering up with AI companies can raise concerns surrounding how AI-generated summaries of news stories can potentially overshadow original reporting.
