OpenAI has struck a deal with Condé Nast, the publisher of well-known magazines such as The New Yorker, Vogue, and Wired. The agreement will allow OpenAI to use the publications’ content to train its ChatGPT chatbot and SearchGPT search engine, both powered by OpenAI’s AI technology.
The terms of the partnership were not disclosed, but in a memo to employees, Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch hinted that the “multi-year” deal would include payment from OpenAI. This partnership is part of a broader trend, as OpenAI has been striking similar deals with other news organizations, including the Associated Press, Axel Springer, The Atlantic, Financial Times, News Corp, and Time.
Journalist Concerns and Ongoing Developments
While these deals are allowing OpenAI to expand the capabilities of its AI systems, they have been made without the consent of the journalists and editors who created the original content. This has left some of them unhappy with the arrangements.
Despite these concerns, the partnership between OpenAI and Condé Nast is a significant development in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI and content creation. We’ll keep you updated on any further developments as they emerge. The terms of the deal suggest that Condé Nast sees value in this collaboration, and it will be interesting to see how it impacts the company’s publications and the wider media industry.
OpenAI has also recently announced that users of the free version of ChatGPT can now generate up to two images per day for free using DALL-E 3, further expanding the capabilities of its AI-powered systems, adds NIXSolutions.
In conclusion, the partnership between OpenAI and Condé Nast represents a major step forward in the integration of AI technology and media content.
