Axel Springer, the publisher of Business Insider and Politico, said on Wednesday it was partnering with OpenAI, which will pay the German media group to allow ChatGPT to summarize current articles in responses generated by the chatbot.
Other media companies have taken the opposite tack, walling off their content from the enormous hunger of AI for text to ingest and imitate. CNN, the New York Times, Disney (which owns ABC), Bloomberg, and the Guardian have blocked ChatGPT's web crawler from vacuuming up their content to train the chatbot on how humans write.
The Axel Springer spokesman said that with the advent of platforms such as Google and Facebook, media companies had missed the opportunity to establish a new source of income and we are all still running after the money. The partnership with OpenAI was the first of its kind, Axel Springer's CEO, Mathias Dopfner, said in the statement.
