The Information reports that OpenAI offers between $1 million and $5 million a year to license copyrighted news articles to train its AI models. That's one of the first indications of how much AI companies plan to pay for licensed material.
The numbers appear roughly similar to some earlier non-AI licensing deals. When Meta launched the Facebook News tab - since discontinued in Europe - it allegedly offered up to $3 million a year to license news stories, headlines, and previews. But it's not clear whether the total payouts would equal some of the bigger numbers we've seen.
