Major U.S. publishers have been in discussions with OpenAI about licensing their content for use in artificial intelligence products. These negotiations were revealed as The New York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement. Other media organizations have also been in talks with OpenAI, with the News/Media Alliance and Microsoft being involved. The talks have been complicated by the rapid development of AI applications and concerns about misinformation. While some publishers have struck deals, others like Bloomberg and The Washington Post have not prioritized commercial agreements with OpenAI. Despite the tensions, some publishing executives see potential benefits in collaborating with AI firms.
